    Hi community,

    in a qradar deployment running 7.5.0UP6 IF02 today I came across the following common error message:

    Aug 24 10:37:55 ::ffff:127.0.0.1 [tomcat.tomcat] [Thread-665978] ComponentOutput: [ERROR] [NOT:0000003000][x.x.x.x/- -] [-/- -]ErrorStream replicationPackager: /dev/mem: permission denied
    Aug 24 10:42:55 ::ffff:127.0.0.1 [tomcat.tomcat] [Thread-666368] ComponentOutput: [ERROR] [NOT:0000003000][x.x.x.x/- -] [-/- -]ErrorStream replicationPackager: /sys/firmware/dmi/tables/smbios_entry_point: Permission denied

    Has anyone else noticed this in other systems by chance and a hint or solution/workaround? Or is it more useful to open an IBM support call?

    Thx in advance and regards,

    Ralph

    Hi Ralph

    Same here on all our QRadar updated with 7.5up6 (without IF), I'm not sure but I think this happen only with physical installations, because I've installed a console in VmWare yesterday and I'm not seeing this error.

    Apart from the error message I'm not aware of other problems with the SIEM functionality, but I did not opened a IBM case yet on this error

    Regards

    Stefano
