Can not install Guardium installation manager (GIM) due to tar error

Troubleshooting


Problem

Installing UNIX GIM from the command line fails even though there is a message at the end saying "Installation completed successfully". On the command line there are errors like: mv: config.all.11203: cannot access: No such file or directory cp: cannot access *.tar.gz*: No such file or directory

Symptom

Example output from the installer with the error:


    [root@dbserver] ./guard-bundle-GIM-9.0.0_r48064_v90_1-hpux-B.11.31-hpux-ia64.gim.sh -- --dir
    /opt/guardium --sqlguardip 10.1.1.1 --tapip 10.2.2.2 --perl /usr/bin/
    Verifying archive integrity... All good.

    cat: Cannot open config.all: No such file or directory
    cat: Cannot open config.all: No such file or directory

    Installation completed successfully


The example is for GIM-9.0.0_r48064 on HPUX but the same issue can happen with any GIM version or OS. The number in:

    config.all.11203

may also be different in different cases.
