When attempting to install a PAMSC Agent, as a root user, on various different versions of RedHat (7.2. 7.4 and 7.7) using the following commands:
/install_base _LINUX_X64_1410.tar.Z -d /<path to installation>
we get the following errors:
/tmp/pre_install/getvar.sh: Permission Denied
This platform is not supported.
We have double checked the compatibility matrix and the above platform(s) are listed.
Release : 14.1
Component : PRIVILEGED ACCESS MANAGEMENT
PAMSC requires execution rights to the tmp directory.
Is your are mounting the tmp file system with something like:
# mount -o remount,noexec /tmp
that hardens the /tmp directory to not be able to execute anything.
If so, we would need to mount it as follows:
# mount -o remount,exec /tmp
chmod 755 /tmp
than after we are done installing to remount it with noexec again:
# mount -o remount,noexec /tmp
