Dear All,

I am trying to install san surfer on ESXi5, but I am getting the below error:

/vmfs/volumes/513c459c-2ea6d032-5fb0-ac162d74d370 # ./standalone_sansurfer5.0.1b75_linux_install.bin
Preparing to install...

./standalone_sansurfer5.0.1b75_linux_install.bin: line 662: uncompress: not found
gzip: /tmp/install.dir.17052/Linux/resource/vm.tar.Z: unknown suffix - ignored
The included VM could not be uncompressed (GZIP/UNCOMPRESS). Please try to
download the installer again and make sure that you download using 'binary'
mode. Please do not attempt to install this currently downloaded copy.

can anyone help?

thanks

regards

Yousif

This could indicate that you do not have enough free space in /tmp.

VCP6-DCV, VCP5, CCNA, MCTS 2008R2, MCSA 2008R2, CCA, ITIL. Please mark answer helpful or correct as appropriate.

Looking on the qlogic website, I see supported versions of San Surfer for Novell SLES and RedHat Linux.

Unless I'm missing something, I don't know how you expect this to install, it's clearly not a VMware package, which would end in .zip or .vib. Certainly something that appears to install JRE would never be intended to run on ESXi.
