Error description

• The Spectrum Protect server installation fails to install DB2
  when /tmp is mounted with noexec. The following error is logged:
  
  ANRI1019E: The DB2 installation failed. To review errors and
  correct any issues, review the log files in
  /var/ibm/InstallationManager/logs/native.
  
  The db2 install log shows the following error :
  
  DBI20043E  DB2 failed to install because of restrictive
  permission settings on the temporary directory /tmp
  
  Customer/L2 Diagnostics :
  In this case, although /tmp is not mounted with noexec,
  there is a remnant /tmp tmpfs noexec mount entry in mtab.
  For example :
  [root@abc tmp]# grep -w /tmp /etc/mtab
  tmpfs /tmp tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
  /dev/sdb1 /tmp ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 0
  
  This is an issue with the db2setup script, which was originally
  documented in DB2 APAR IT13674.
  
  A new DB2 APAR, IT29170, implements additional changes to the
  db2setup script to detect when /tmp is overmounted with a
  different filesystem with correct parameters.
  
  Initial Impact: Low
  
  Additional Keywords:
  db2install db2_install TS001602401 no-exec exec
  
  Versions Affected:
  All IBM Spectrum Protect server versions 7.1.3 and higher
  on UNIX and Linux.
  

Local fix

• Prior to performing installation, verify if /tmp is overmounted
  with a different filesystem. Ensure that noexec is not used
  on any configured /tmp filesystem.
