Try setting NB_TMPDIR as per https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100023461
I know the Technote says Solaris and NBU 7.5.0.x but I believe it works for all Unix and Linux installs and I needed to use recently for NBU 8.1 on Solaris 11.

Edit the install script. About 2/3 of the way down in the script you'll find this section:
if [ "${NB_TMPDIR}" != "" ] ; then
TMPDIR="${NB_TMPDIR}"
else
TMPDIR=${TMPDIR:=/tmp}
fi
export TMPDIR
Change the TMPDIR to be TMPDIR="/var/log/tmp" and TMPDIR=/var/log/tmp
If that location doesn't work well for you, then change it to whatever you need it to be. Save the edited file and run install again.

Or why not just use the NB_TMPDIR variable that the script is checking for anyway? Personally I'm not sure editing the install script is good practice... BR Andrew
