msgcnt 4 vxfs: mesg 001: vx_nospace message

[Chamitha Wijesekera]

I'm trying to install WebLogic on HP-UX using a script I have written. The script copies itself and the WL installation files to the /tmp directory of the host machine before execution and installation. I get the following message when i run the script. anyone have any idea why this might be?

Installing WebLogic 6.1sp1 to /space/eshpa002-1/v7/bea on eshpa002 ...please wait.

/HP/BEA/Weblogic/6.1+SP1/weblogic610sp1_hp.bin -f /tmp/19826.properties
Preparing to install...

msgcnt 4 vxfs: mesg 001: vx_nospace - /dev/root file system full (1 block extent)
The included VM could not be unarchived (tar). Please try to download
the installer again and make sure that you download using 'binary'
mode. Please do not attempt to install this currently downloaded copy.

the script installs successfully on another HP-UX machine thus i have ruled out the possibility of an erroneous script. hence it must be either the environment settings or space issues that are the cause

Hi,
It's looks like a space problem. Did you try increase space in /tmp ?? Try increasing the tmp size or while installing redirect to somewhere else where you have plenty of space

More likely space issue here .. what does
# bdf
says when it failed ? That will help you spot which filesystem is getting full.

Hi Chamitha,

An FS in the /dev/root VG is filling up during the install. I suspect that it's the /tmp FS & that 19826.properties is the culprit.

Do a bdf to see exactly which FS is full/filling & try to clear some space in it.
Use
du -akx | sort -nr | more
from the top of the FS
to see files in the FS sorted in descending size to see what "big" files you can delete to free up space.

HTH,
Jeff

Hi,

You /tmp filesystem is full.. Try increasing space or else copy that installation file to some other directory except root where you have space and then install the application.

Hi Chamitha

The problem is with /root so start with /etc/utmp , search for core files and free up the root .
