Insufficient disk space

An unattended installation might fail due to insufficient disk space being available.

Symptom

On Windows the installer fails and the following message is displayed on the console (applies to all install modes):

An error occurred during installation.

There are no other messages displayed on the console or the install log which indicate the cause of the failure.

On UNIX and Linux the installer fails to launch and the following message is displayed:
WARNING: /tmp does not have enough disk space!
         Attempting to use / for install base and tmp dir.

WARNING! The amount of / disk space required to perform
this installation is greater than what is available.  Please
free up at least XXXXX kilobytes in / and attempt this
installation again.  You may also set the IATEMPDIR environment
variable to a directory on a disk partition with enough free
disk space.  To set the variable enter one of the following
commands at the UNIX command line prompt before running this
installer again:

- for Bourne shell (sh), ksh, bash and zsh:

     $ IATEMPDIR=/your/free/space/directory
     $ export IATEMPDIR

- for C shell (csh) and tcsh:

     $ setenv IATEMPDIR /your/free/space/directory

Probable cause

If there are no other messages specifying the cause of the failure, the most probable cause is that there is insufficient disk space is available to launch the installer or install the product.

Action

Free up some space and relaunch the installer.
