8.1.7.0 WEBGUI

[rowl]

I have installed the new 8.1.7.0 WEBGUI on one Linux system and it worked fine. Now on a second one I am doing the same thing but it is erroring out.

SERVERA:/tmp/tsm # rpm -ihv TIVsm-WEBGUI.x86_64.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]

usermod: invalid option -- 'a'
Try `usermod --help' or `usermod --usage' for more information.
The wlp install dir /opt/tivoli/tsm/tdpvmware/common/webserver does not exist

The directory that this states does not exist, does exist, Running this install created it. I am running this as root on SLES 11.4. Tried to uninstall all of the BA client components and reinstall from scratch, still no joy. Any ideas?

Hi,
2cents
seems the rpm installer script needs polishing - when installing the package on CEntOS/RHEL, the required user (tdpvmware) was not created (had to do it manually - after that and running the "chmod" on the complete directory it started to work). This looks like similar problem (typo --a instead of --append or -a for usermod?). If I had to make it working I would unpack the rpm manually and checked the post_install script for problems ....
