Installation of Spectrum using symbolic links

Products

• DX NetOps
• CA Spectrum

Issue/Introduction

Our linux server builds have two separate partitions (on separate sets of disks). 

- root ("/"): The "root" partition contains the OS and also the mount point for "/opt"

- application ("d/d1"): The "application" partition is where applications should be installed

The objective is to have all applications and related files on a separate partition, so if the server OS needs to be rebuild due to an issue, then the application does not need to be reinstalled.

Is having symbolic links supported, will we encounter issues ? 

Environment

Release : 22.2

Resolution

Moving the /opt/Spectrum/ links and /opt/CA/CAPKI is not support. These links/files are hardcoded in the install and can't be changed to a different disk.
