Re: ISC on WinXP or Unix ref /tmp

Richard,

If you cannot make you /tmp filesystem larger, or move it to a larger 
filesystem/logical volume, being an "old" UNIX guy (1986+), a trick is to setup 
a UNIX link on your server's root / directory pointing to a much larger /tmp 
directory filesystem/logical volume. Done this in the past on HP/UX 9 when it 
was delivered once with a too small /tmp.

All,

I've just set the following enviroment variables on my Linux TSM Server to
another directory: TMP, TEMP, TEMPDIR, TMPDIR and it looked like it was
going to install. But no luck, some temporary directories were indeed
created in the other location but in /tmp ismp001 was still created and
also the check still failed on /tmp being too small.
It looks like it is hardcoded into the installer (Blerrggh, what idiot
hardcodes location into programs).

Richard.

Welcome to the world of the new enterprise solutions :)

Personally, I think the ISC will is a real disadvantage.
We have a lot of small customers and having 1 GB of ram only for the ISC
is
ridiculous.  We have an inhouse developed set of perl script that we use
to
monitor TSM and to do some administration that's not so easy to do with
the
web administrative interface (handling tapes, client option sets and so
on).
I think we will develop some more scripts and never use the ISC.  Maybe we
will never install it at all.
