Space issue running installer

Post by kevink »

Hi, I'm trying to install Co:Z SFTP V1R9M0 on a z/OS 1.9 system through OMVS and getting the following:

Do you agree to the above license terms? (yes or no)
yes
Enter home directory (/usr/local/coz) :
/usr/lpp/coz
0 blocks
FSUM7131 Out of space.
If you want to go on, type device/file name when ready

There is an empty 150cyl HFS file mountes at /usr/lpp/coz

Could you please advise on how I should proceed?

Thanks,

Kevin

If you indeed have space at that location, the toolkit should install. Can you post the results of the following command?

Code: Select all

df -kP /usr/lpp/coz
Also, we recommend that you use a telnet or ssh session (preferred) for installation and operation. The OMVS shell is often severely memory constrained, and can cause unexpected difficulties.

That looks OK.

it's possible that your binary is corrupted. Did you ensure that you transferred in binary (rather than ascii) format?

Run the following command on the uploaded file. Your results should match the ones posted here. If not, you'll need to re-fetch and transfer the file.

Code: Select all

$ cksum coz-1.9.0.bin
3093313626 11215567 coz-1.9.0.bin
As an aside, the latest version of Co:Z is 1.10.0 - if you can, you might want to use that version rather than 1.9.0.

(Resolved offline)

The OP was completely out of space in /tmp.
The installer is a self-extracting file consisting of a shell script that front-ends a pax file. Many/most shell scripts use tiny amounts of /tmp space and will fail if /tmp is completely full.
