Error description

  • Tivoli Storage Manager automatic client deployment on Unix and
    Linux platforms, can fail with
    'ANS4253E There was not enough disk space on the  client
    computer'
    if a target filesystem wraps onto 2 lines in the command output
    of 'df -k'.
    
    In updatemgr.log it is seen:

    .
    The df -k from the filesystem shows wrapped around lines like
    ...
    /dev/mapper/rootvg-opt
                          10321208   4543340   5253580  47% /opt
    ...
    So here the psdeployclient.sh script would read the 47 instead
    of the 5253580, thus failing the upgrade as
    calculated available space : 49152 bytes is less than  Required
    space: 838860800 bytes;
    
    
    Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected:
    Tivoli Storage Manager Clients 6.2.x, 6.3.x, 6.4.x and 7.1.x on
    AIX, Solaris, HPUX and Linux platforms
    
    
    Initial Impact:
    Medium

Local fix

  • Upgrade client manually
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All linux users where there is a mount       *
    *                 point with more than 20 characters and       *
    *                 attempt to use autodeployment.               *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: See ERROR DESCRIPTION                   *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the fixing level when available.  This *
    *                                                              *
    *                 problem is currently projected to be fixed   *
    *                 in levels 7.1.1 and 6.4.2                    *
    ****************************************************************
    The script used to determine free space did not use the
    correct option that allowed for mount points longer than
    20 characters.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The update manager component of auto deployment was updated
    to correctly work with mount points of more than 20
    characters.
    

Temporary fix

  • A fix for this problem is currently targeted for the 7.1.0.3
    Until the interim fix is actually available this information
    is subject to change at the discretion of IBM.
