Install Performance Management without use "/tmp"

Products

• CA Performance Management - Usage and Administration
• DX NetOps

Issue/Introduction

We cannot use /tmp for application installs

Can we use another directory to install all Performance Management components?

Environment

All supported DX NetOps Performance Management releases

Cause

We use InstallAnywhere as our installation tool.

You can set IATEMPDIR to point to an alternate location for /tmp

Resolution

1. If you are installing as root, you can set this variable before running the install of any CAPM system:

export IATEMPDIR=/my/largefolder

Then call the install.

Or you can set the new tmp while calling the install:

IATEMPDIR=/<directory> <installername>

 

2. If you are installing as a sudo user, you must either add the variable to the sudoers file

Or call the command like this:

sudo IATEMPDIR=/<directory> <installername>

E.G.

sudo IATEMPDIR=/my/largefolder ./installDR.bin

sudo IATEMPDIR=/my/largefolder ./installDA.bin

sudo IATEMPDIR=/my/largefolder ./install.bin

sudo IATEMPDIR=/my/largefolder ./CAPerfCenterSetup.bin
