TCR 2.1.1 Recommended File Sytems for Aix 6.1

Body

Problem:

1) During installation of TCR 2.1.1 on Aix 6.1, It throws the following error in TCR211InstallTrace00.log

com.ibm.tivoli.reporting.advanced.cognos.installer.util.IAUtils getSpace
FINE: NOTE ^variable: $IAGLOBAL_DISK_SPACE_CHECK_REQUIRED$^n^
com.ibm.tivoli.reporting.advanced.cognos.installer.util.IAUtils requiredDiskSpace
FINE: NOTE ^space: 0^n^

com.ibm.tivoli.reporting.advanced.cognos.installer.actions.CheckDiskSpaceAction customInstall
WARNING: CTGTRI719W IBM Tivoli Common Reporting is up to date.

2) The above problem occurs because of $IAGLOBAL_DISK_SPACE_CHECK_REQUIRED

returns zero when it tries to calculate the required size on multiple file systems for TCR installation directories.

For instance, If you have a file system like this, there are two separate file systems.

/opt/IBM/tivoli/tipv2 – mounted on different file system

/opt/IBM/tivoli - mounted on different file system

Solution:

1. The following installation directories are created for default Tivoli Common Reporting stand-alone installation:

The directory that contains the uninstaller and the installation log files. In documentation, it is referred to as TCR_install_dir.

/opt/IBM/tivoli/tcr

Tivoli Integrated Portal installation directory, referred to as TIP_install_dir:

/opt/IBM/tivoli/tipv2

TIP_components_dir directory containing Tivoli Integrated Portal components. Tivoli Common Reporting is one of Tivoli Integrated Portal components but there may be others installed as well:

/opt/IBM/tivoli/tipv2Components

Tivoli Common Reporting is located in the TCRComponent directory, in the documentation referred to as TCR_component_dir:

/opt/IBM/tivoli/tipv2Components/TCRComponent

2. Please create a singe file system for all the installation directories.

For instance, Please create a single file system and mount to /opt/IBM/tivoli directory, try to use the same for all the other directories.

3. Please don't create any other file systems and don't mount for the other directories under /opt/IBM/tivoli
