[vcerrato]

Hi,

I got this error at deployment SAS Viya 3.4, any idea to solve it? As you can see, I have indicated the path of the java installation

@vcerrato ,

Please show me the output from a command shown below. Run that command on the deployment target machine:

sudo rpm -Va "sas-*" | grep missing

Also, /opt/sas is an actual directory or a symbolic link?

[vcerrato]

This is the output:

$ sudo rpm -Va "sas-*" | grep missing

/opt/sas is an actual directory, and /opt/sas/viya/config is not created yet, but I guess the deployment does it automatically.

.

Thanks for your support.

@vcerrato ,

Please run a command shown below:

sudo rpm -e $(rpm -qg SAS) --nopreun

Then restart the deployment process with an additional -vvv option. If the deployment fails again, show me the output from the console as well as from the commands shown below:

df -h
mount
ls -ld /opt
ls -ld /opt/sas

[vcerrato]

Thanks for the help, the installation has been completed. Could you explain in more detail what happened? If you wish, of course. In this way, I select the solution as accepted for those you can help in the future.

@vcerrato ,

I'm glad that the problem has been resolved. It looks like you had multiple installation attempts and some of the packages weren't installed/removed properly between them. 

I always suggest checking for missing packages if you had multiple installation attempts.

Thanks for accepting my solution.

Have a good day!

I had launched deploy-cleanup.yml as recommended by SAS, but it seems that it was not enough. Again, thanks for your support.

@vcerrato ,

You are welcome. In most cases that will be enough, but to be safe, I would run that command and check missing packages too.
