When using FPP, you might experience the following error (PRVF-7546):
$ rhpctl add workingcopy -workingcopy WC_db_19_11_FPPC -image db_19_11 -path /u01/app/oracle/product/WC_db_19_11_FPPC -client fppc -oraclebase /u01/app/oracle fpps01: Audit ID: 121 PRGO-1260 : Cluster Verification checks for database home provisioning failed for the specified working copy WC_db_19_11_FPPC. PRCR-1178 : Execution of command failed on one or more nodes PRVF-7546 : The work directory "/tmp/CVU_19.0.0.0.0_oracle/" cannot be used on node "fppc02"
This is often related to the filesystem /tmp that has the “noexec” option:
$ mount | grep /tmp tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec)
Although it is tempting to just remount the filesystem with “exec”, you might be in this situation because your systems are configured to adhere to the STIG recommendations:
The noexec option must be added to the /tmp partition (https://www.stigviewer.com/stig/red_hat_enterprise_linux_6/2016-12-16/finding/V-57569)
FPP 19.9 contains fix 30885598 that allows specifying the temporary location for FPP operations:
$ srvctl modify rhpserver -tmploc <new_tmp>
After that, the operation should run smoothly:
fppc02: Successfully executed clone operation. fppc02: Executing root script on nodes ltora401,ltora402. fppc02: Successfully executed root script on nodes fppc01,fppc02. fppc02: Working copy creation completed. fppc02: Oracle home provisioned. fpps01: Client-side action completed.
