NetBackup 7.5 Client Install Fails CentOS 6.7

[jawadenier]

Fresh local install of client running CentOS release 6.7 (Final)  x64. Master server is Windows so attempting local client install.

Downloaded NetBackup_7.5_CLIENTS_tar-gz.1of3, 2of3, 3of3, MD5 checksums do match.

When running ./install, it installs PBX then unpacks SYMCnbclt package, receiving this error:

./cp_to_client: line 781: 13785 Broken pipe             ${unbundle_cmd}
     13786 Segmentation fault      | ${tar_cmd} >> ${pkg_trace} 2>&1

tar failed unpacking /root/tmp/NetBackup_7.5_CLIENTS/NBClients/anb/Clients/usr/openv/netbackup/client/Linux/RedHat2.6.18/client_bin.tar.gz on myCentOS.foo.com.
Cannot complete the install.
Aborting...

No Symantec products installed on this server.

Any ideas?

Did you joing files like this :

cat "NetBackup_7.5_CLIENTS_tar-gz.1of3" "NetBackup_7.5_CLIENTS_tar-gz.2of3" "NetBackup_7.5_CLIENTS_tar-gz.3of3" > "NetBackup_7.5_CLIENTS_tar.gz"

If the install does a core dump, are core files generated ?

can you do :

file /path/to/core/file

Had an issue on AIX, where tmp wasn't big enough to hold the temporary file created by one of the commands in the install script.

Here I would try a manual untar of the failing archive, maybe somewhere other than the /root file system

Sorry for the delay. Contacted Symantec support and a fresh ISO image was downloaded and mounted. Client was then successfully installed.
