Diagnosing The Problem

If the symptoms above are seen, then follow the fix below to resolve.

Resolving The Problem

Fix: As user nz run the "env" command to get the nzpassword.

# export NZ_PASSWORD=xxxxxxxx

Where "xxxxxxxx" is the actual nz password listed by the env command.

After the export command completes the replacespu command should start normally.
