Why?

Cause

The AE 3.0 to 4.0 Upgrade Guide does not mention the amount of /tmp space required for the installation/upgrade; it only mentions the amount of /opt space required.

Fix

The minimum requirement for /tmp space for AE 4.0 installation/upgrade is 5GB.

The minimum requirement is 15GB for /opt/arcsight and 5GB for tmpfs.
