restore: 0511-121 Out of space. Check space.

Make sure the original file was transfered in Binary mode to the server.

[columb]

The key words here are 'Out of space'
run

df -k /usr
df -k /tmp

and check if the file system is nearly full.
If you use smit (I know real techies run from a command line but..) it has the option for the extend file systems if required. There's a flag for installp for this but I've forgotten it (that's why I use smit). man installp will give more details

smit will also tell you the command it's going to run, including the extend fs flag, if that's what you want.

 

[fousait]

this is the out put from the two commands
# df -k /usr
Filesystem 1024-blocks Free %Used Iused %Iused Mounted on
/dev/hd2 1048576 143908 87% 24988 10% /usr
# df -k /tmp
Filesystem 1024-blocks Free %Used Iused %Iused Mounted on
/dev/hd3 327680 103700 69% 1981 3% /tmp

 

[p5wizard]

That flag is -X and is already specified. However, if there is no (or an incorrect) estimate of needed space in the install files, -X won't do any good.

Either manually expand /usr (or /usr/opt ???) and try again. Or make sure you have a correct install file. Perhaps your install file contains corrupt data? Incomplete download? FTP not in binary mode (already mentioned by BocaBurger)?


HTH,

[fousait]

look like it was that the file was not good turn on the binary mode and reinstall it and it worked
thanks for all the help
