Installing client 7.5 error unpacking java

Hi Folks,

 

I'm trying to install a client 7.5 on a SuSe 2.6, I've already installed other clients with the same installer files, but, in this particular server, it gives error unpacking Java:

 

Unpacking SYMCnbclt package.
Checking for pre-existing SYMCnbclt package.
Removing pre-existing SYMCnbclt package.
Installing SYMCnbclt package.
Installation of SYMCnbclt was successful.
More details regarding SYMCnbclt can be found in file
/tmp/install_cltpkg_trace.10932 on <client name>.

Terminating NetBackup and/or Media Manager processes.

Installing NB-Java.

/bin/tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

tar failed unpacking /usr/openv/java/NB-Java.tar.gz on <client name>.
Cannot complete the install.
Aborting...
Failure extracting java files.

A failure was detected

 <Master Server Name> <client name> /tmp/install_trace.10679


File /usr/openv/tmp/install_trace.10679 contains a trace of this install.
That file can be deleted after you are sure the install was successful.

  • Tried to copy the files a lot of times.

     

    So, Ive figured a workaround. Picked the openv folder from another Server, one that is working, and copied via SCP. It worked ok.

  • Have a look at this thread, similar issue:

    https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/nb-javatarz-missing-client-install

     

  • In this thread it looks for a NB-Java.Z, and in my case, it's not a wrong name, it looks for the right file.

     

    Curiously I've tried to install a 7.1 version, only for it keeps backuping last night until I solve the problem, and it gives the exactly same error.

  • run this command: file /usr/openv/java/NB-Java.tar.gz

    what is the output?

  • /usr/openv/java/NB-Java.tar.gz: empty

     

     

    but, if I'm trying to install, should the problem be in the installation? Not in /usr/openv ?

  • Look at the error:

    gzip: /usr/openv/java/NB-Java.tar.gz: not in gzip format
    /bin/tar: This does not look like a tar archive
    /bin/tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

     

    So are you saying this file is empty? ls -l gzip: /usr/openv/java/NB-Java.tar.gz

    Do you have space in /usr/openv? 

  • editting the script, putting to ignore the Java file, and copying the folder, made the install work. But now I need to update to 7.5.0.4 and the error keeps going, and edit 7.5.0.4 script shows to be more difficult than 7.5.

     

    Anyone can help what I can do?

  • /usr/openv/java/NB-Java.tar.gz: empty

     

    what is the size of the /usr/openv/java/NB-Java.tar.gz file. 

    did you compare the file size with the other client file that run successfully?

    are you sure this file is not good ?

     

    please try to have the new files copied and try installing it...
