Environment
Release: Component: IDMGR
Resolution
In this specific situation, an attempt was made to run Provisioning Server install in a repair mode after migrating Provisioning Directory, which was giving the Permission Denied on extracting some tar files even though the install was done as ROOT permission and given full access to the installer folder.
It was later revealed, when checking /etc/profile file content, that the DXHOME environment variable was configured to be /opt/CA/Directory/dxserver/ In the above the last '/' was causing this problem. Removing the last '/' making DXHOME value as /opt/CA/Directory/dxserver , the install completed successfully.
