ECC agent to a Linux host ( Suse10 SP1 )

I had the same issue with RedHat 4.5 if I try to install via an rpm. If I install via the source from the cd it works fine.

This is common problem with Linux.

To resolve this issue, do the following:

Confirm that the Spec.pm file exists on the Linux host having the issue. This file should exist in the following location:

/usr/ecc/exec/utils/perl/Linux/lib/5.8.8/File/Spec.pm

If the Spec.pm file exists in the location specified in the preceding step, check that a directory called eccperl exists of the /usr directory. The /usr/eccperl directory should be a symlink to the /usr/ecc/exec/utils/perl/Linux directory.

If the above directory is not symlinked or does not exist, create it using the following command:

cd /usr
ln -s /usr/ecc/exec/utils/perl/Linux eccperl
Restart the Master Agent and attempt the reinstall of the Host Agent for Linux.

I am having this exact issue on HPUX systems. While, i can see how creating that sym. link will fix it, i do not consider that a fix. More like a work around. Why is that sym link not being created when the master agent is installed? I have another HPUX system that has Solutions Enabler installed and the sym link was created but i do not need to deploy SE to all my hosts. does anybody know if this is going to addressed in a patch soon?

This error can normally be associated with knowledge article emc137675, so be sure to check if it applies or not.

As you say, the error indicates it failed at disk free space check, but actually you'll find the procedure to determine diskspace failed due a missing library. See the kb article to determine what file to check.

Thanks
