Issue/Introduction

When installing CA Spectrum on Linux, we get the below error:

Cause

There is no space or incorrect permissions on the /tmp/ directory.

 

CA Spectrum and CA Spectrum Remote Administration (SRAdmin) Daemon installations require root privileges to evaluate available resources and run custom installation scripts. Installing under the root ensures root privileges for the setuid executable, which lets the SpectroSERVER connect to SNMP ports. Because an initial installation generates residual files with root ownership, subsequent upgrade installations also require root privileges.

 

Resolution/Workaround

Make sure there is sufficient space in /tmp/ folder and the root user has full permission on /tmp/ folder.

Is it writeable and executable for the root user?

Check the directory permissions as follows:

 

ls -ld /tmp

drwxrwxrwt. 12 root root 4096 Jul 19 04:13 /tmp

 

Check disk space as follows:

To check the space in /tmp, run:

 

$ df /tmp

Environment

Product: CA Spectrum OS: RHEL (any supported release)

Resolution

Grant exec permissions to /tmp:

mount -o remount,exec /tmp

If it is not possible to provide required access to /tmp folder or there is insufficient space, you can install CA Spectrum using different folder as tmp folder.

Please work with your OS owner to move the tmp folder to another file system with sufficient space.   e.g. 

If it is not possible to provide required access to /tmp folder or there is insufficient space, you can install CA Spectrum using different folder as tmp folder.  The following is an example and will vary from system to system.  Please work with your OS owner to create move the tmp folder to another file system with sufficient space.

 

  sudo su

  mkdir /<AnotherFilesystem> /tmp

  chown root.root /<AnotherFilesystem> /tmp

  chmod 1777 /<AnotherFilesystem> /tmp

  IATEMPDIR=/<AnotherFilesystem> /tmp

  export IATEMPDIR

Additional Information

Verify that the 32 bit glibc package is installed.  If not, the installer will error

 

sudo yum install -y glibc.i686
