Environment
Sentinel 6.0.xx
Situation
Getting random Java exceptions and stack traces shown during the
installation. The installation starts and fails at different
places during the installation. The installation logs show
the Java exceptions but do not point to a root cause.
Resolution
A lack of space in /tmp can cause failures during various processes
on Linux and Solaris. Most programs use this space for
storing files temporarily and installers are no exception. It
is recommended to have around one gigabyte of data in /tmp if it is
partitioned off from the rest of the filesystem. If /tmp is
part of the root filesystem then there should be at least one
gigabyte in that partition.
Strange error taking place during the Sentinel installation can often be attributed to a lack of space (memory or hard drive) on the machine or a need to cleanup from a previous Sentinel installation on the same machine.
