  • 1.  DBI20081E The installer detected that there is not enough free disk space

    Posted Wed March 18, 2020 01:10 PM
    I try to install db2 for SDS 6.4 on an RedHat Enterprise server 7.7. But when I run the db2_install script I recieve the error:

    DBI20081E  The installer detected that there is not enough free disk space in

    "/tmp". Free space detected in "/tmp" is: "1963132" (measured in kilobytes).

    Space needed is: "2000000" (measured in kilobytes).

    I found this article:
    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/db2setup-or-installation-fails-dbi1080e-disk-full-error

    I have more space in /var so I try to run:

    export DB2WORKDIR=/var

    export DB2_SKIP_TMP_CHK=TRUE

    But I still recieve the same error. If I run printenv I see that the two variables are set correct.

    How can I solve this problem?

    Hello Per,

    Can you please try the DB2TMPDIR env variable?

    Refer:

    https://www.ibm.com/mysupport/s/question/0D50z00005q8B6v/running-db2install-i-receive-error-dbi20081e-stating-that-tmp-is-too-small-how-can-i-change-the-temporary-disk-location-?language=en_US

    Let us know if that works for you.

    If not, we could try installing DB2 at a latest fix pack levels and then try the env variables.

    -Ram.

    Thank you. But I get another error:

    DBI20043E  DB2 failed to install because of restrictive permission settings on the temporary directory /var/tmp2

    I have tried to change the noexec parameter but then I still get the same error.

    Hello Per,
    This is the main error now:

    DBI20043E  DB2 failed to install because of restrictive permission settings on the temporary directory /var/tmp2

    Did you check the permissions and ownership on /var/tmp2 folder and compare it against /tmp folder permissions and ownership and adjust.

    Thanks,
    Ram

    Hi Per,

    please look at the following technote. Some of the folders in /var may have noexec option enabled.

    I upgraded to DB2 11.5.7.0 then got the DBI20081E error when trying to get rid of DB2 v11.1. Setting the DB2TMPDIR worked for me.

    [root@test install]# export DB2TMPDIR=/backup/tmp
    [root@test install]# mkdir /backup/tmp
    [root@test install]# chmod 777 /backup/tmp/
    [root@test install]# ./db2_deinstall -a
    DBI1016I  Program db2_deinstall is performing uninstallation. Please
          wait.

    The execution completed with warnings.

    For more information see the DB2 uninstallation log at
    "/backup/tmp/db2_deinstall.log.2573093".


    [root@test V11.4a]# grep -i warn "/backup/tmp/db2_deinstall.log.2573093"
    WARNING: "TSAMP" was not removed because it was not installed.
