HSTHS0003E Cannot open file filename for writing. errmsg

Explanation

The file specified for output could not be opened for writing. The output file is one of the following: a plan file specified on the command line with the --plan option; a temporary file in the /tmp directory; or a log file. Log files are written to the /usr/tank/admin/log directory unless the --log option is specified on the command line.

Action

Check the following settings, and make the necessary corrections before executing the script again:

  1. Check for the correct plan file if --plan is specified.
  2. Check for the correct output directory if --log is specified.
  3. Check for the correct permissions on the output directories and /tmp to allow write privileges by the user invoking the script. The output directory permissions must allow the user to create a file for writing in the output directory.
  4. Make sure that the script is being invoked by a user who is intended to have write permissions in the output directory.

Run the script again.
