PH38694: ZD&T 13.X: DEPLOYMENT FAILS BECAUSE ZD&T SCRIPT CANNOT FIND IPTABLES

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• ZD&T 13.x
  
  The ZD&T script zdt_config_network_byRoot.sh fails with many
  error messages complaining about iptables and iptables-save
  similar to the following:
  
  /app1/ibmsys1/zdt/zdtInstall/zdt_config_network_byRoot.sh:
  line 100: iptables-save: command not found
  /app1/ibmsys1/zdt/zdtInstall/zdt_config_network_byRoot.sh:
  line 103: iptables: command not found
  
  This is a result of the actual path of iptables being under
  /usr/sbin, but the non-root userid that is used, has been locked
  down and does not have /usr/sbin in its PATH (but still has
  permissions). As a result, ZD&T cannot find iptables or
  iptables-save.
  

Local fix

• Modify the script on the ZD&T tools sever, adding the following
  line at the beginning of the script:
  
  export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin
  
  NOTE: This file will get overwritten on the ZD&T tools server
  once the ZD&T server is restarted.
