WARNING: Mount of /dev/shm failed

Question & Answer


Question

How do I resolve the following NPS upgrade error: "WARNING: Mount of /dev/shm failed"?

Answer

During an NPS upgrade, the following error appeared:

    WARNING: Mount of /dev/shm failed: mount: /dev/shm not mounted already, or bad option        

    You will need to re-mount before nzstart.WARNING: Mount of /dev/shm failed on standby host 'ha2': mount: /dev/shm not mounted already, or bad option

The solution is to re-mount the temporary filesystem as follows:
    mount /dev/shm
