What are you trying to install?
Can we assume NetBackup master server?

If so, have you checked all the requirements in NBU installation guide such as nbwebsvc user account?

Perhaps a good idea to visit Sort for installation checklist:

I am following the installtion guide and it states that the preinstalltion check will put results in /usr/openv/tmp. After it fails there is not usr/openv/tmp file. 

I am trying to isntall the master server but cant seem to even get passed this one step.
