Hi Team,
I need to know the Why /Root partition need 16 GB for RSA IGL Upgrade 7.1.1. what is the technical details for /root should have 16 GB. As we are facing this issue, because our hardware vendor is not ready to increase the space in /root folder.
Currently we have only 5 GB disk size for root.
Your suggestion/input is highly appreciated.
Hello Abhinav,
Here they allocated 5 GB to / ( root partition) , out of that OS (operating system) taking around 3 to 4 GB.
Then how much remain on root ,only 1 or 2 GB ?,which is not enough for G&L installation/upgrade to pass.
It will fail ,if system does not meet the minimum size requirement.
If application puts any files outside its path (/home/oracle) then it going to take space in that other path.
Our Install script invoke modify_kernel_settings.sh script to check System/kernel Settings and change those required settings for the product to work .Also it check swap ,it creates required swap on / (root partition) , that needs free space on / (root partition)
Looking at DF output above ,it doesn't look like its showing correct space? . Total size on root showing 5 GB and used space showing 4 GB and available space 2 GB.
And on few other partitions ( like /home , /boot) , used and available space showing same as allocated space.
In this case , /home partition also can cause the issue. as file system "/dev/mapper/vg_root-lv_ahome" does not meet the minimum size requirement
Thank You,
Rakhee
Hi Rakhee ,
As Per the installation requirements for RSA IG&L on root we should have at least 16 gb on top of existing Operating System .
Thanks
You currently have only 5 GB free. You're asking why you need 16 GB free to upgrade your expensive software to 7.1.1
My suggestion is to follow the vendor's requirements documents, and to exceed them in terms of memory, storage space, CPU and so forth. Why do you want to go into battle without adequate resources?
