APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • It is possible to create a mount point (/opt/tivoli/tsm) and
    have the TSM components installed on the mount point, but there
    still needs to be space in /opt, as there are directories/files
    placed outside the /opt/tivoli/tsm directory. The installer does
    not properly check for this needed space in /opt.
    .
    Additional L2 Diagnostics:
    In the logs.zip, the de/root/DE_Install.log might show a similar
    error:
    .
    Performing fresh install on /opt/tivoli/cit
      (config=/opt/tivoli/cit/config)
    Starting file extraction...
    File extraction failed, error = 6 (Cannot write file (out of
      space))
    Installation failed, rolling back
    .
    Initial Impact: Low
    TSM Versions Affected: TSM 6.1 on UNIX
    Additional Keywords: zz61 opt mountpoint mp
    .
    

Local fix

  • Ensure /opt has at least the minimum space required.
