Issue/Introduction

The installation of the r12.8.5 AdminUI on Linux fails

----------------------------------
[adminui-install-error.txt]

Check Disk Space:         /development0/gbp/siteminder/adminui
                          Status: SUCCESSFUL
                          Additional Notes: NOTE - Required Disk Space: 348,251,701; Free Disk Space: -1
----------------------------------

Environment

Release : 12.8.5

Component : SITEMINDER WAM UI

Operating System: Linux

Cause

This issue is occurring when a user (e.g. smuser) used to install the AdminUI Pre-Req. and AdminUI has a /<home>/ directory <=1GB.  The AdminUI installer is picking up the user's /<home>/ directory and writing the temp data during the installation to that directory instead of '/tmp/'.  When the free space or size limit of the users home directory is exceeded, the installation of the AdminUI fails.

Resolution

This issue will be resolved in r12.8.6 as per [

###### PROPOSED WORK-AROUND ######

Run the following command:

(export IATEMPDIR=/tmp/iatmpdir;export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Duser.home=/tmp/hometmpdir';mkdir -pv /tmp/{ia,home}tmpdir;ln -svf ~/{CA,persistent_state,.{InstallAnywhere,java,*registry*}} /tmp/hometmpdir/.;/tmp/2362/linux-x86-64/ca-adminui-12.8-sp05-rhas64.bin -i console;find /tmp/hometmpdir/* -prune -not -type l -exec cp -pvr {} ~ \;)

In this solution we are doing the following:

1) Sets the environment variable for 'IAMTEMPDIR'

export IATEMPDIR=/tmp/iatmpdir

2) Sets the environment variable for '_JAVA_OPTIONS'

export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Duser.home=/tmp/hometmpdir'

3) Creates a directory to be used for the tmp data during install

mkdir -pv /tmp/{ia,home}tmpdir

4) Creates symbolic links to the actual files (this prevents the need to copy them back and forth)

ln -svf ~/{CA,persistent_state,.{InstallAnywhere,java,*registry*}} /tmp/hometmpdir/.;

5) Installs the AdminUI

/tmp/2362/linux-x86-64/ca-adminui-12.8-sp05-rhas64.bin -i console;

6) Copies any files, that are not symlinks, generated by the install back into the home directory.

find /tmp/hometmpdir/* -prune -not -type l -exec cp -pvr {} ~ \;
