Troubleshooting
Problem
When installing IBM InfoSphere Guardium appliance in VMWare vSphere, I get Not enough space to create boot partition.
Symptom
When installing IBM InfoSphere Guardium appliance in VMWare, I get the following error
Error Partitioning
Could not allocate requested partitions:
Partitioning failed: Could not allocate partitions as primary partitions.
Not enough space left to create partition for /boot.
Resolving The Problem
When installing the Guardium appliance using VMWare, selecting "Typical" install will cause VMWare to use configuration parameters predefined for the OS type in VMWare.
Please select "Custom" installation and specify the disk location and size explicitly. Please specify a disk size that is big enough for your monitoring and audit needs, as once it is configured, IBM InfoSphere Guardium does not support adding disk space to the appliance.
