Insufficient swap space during 12.1.0.2 install despite setting TMP and TMPDIR

6StringJan 15 2015 — edited Jan 29 2015

Hello,

Oracle wants 11GB of tmp space to install 12.1.0.2.  This is on RHEL 5 x86.  It is saying my system only has 1.999GB. The 12c install manual found here

http://docs.oracle.com/database/121/LADBI/usr_grps.htm#LADBI7678

says to set the TMP and TMPDIR environment vars to a location which has sufficient space, but that doesn't work. I set tmpdir to a location with 154GB of free space but the installer doesn't appear to be using the vars.


I still get

"This is a prerequisite condition to test whether sufficient total swap space is available on the system. (more details)

Expected Value

: 11.7292GB (1.2298908E7KB)

Actual Value

: 1.9994GB (2096472.0KB)"


Has anyone run into this?


Humbly,

6
