Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Release Notes for UNIX

In CLI mode the Java ES installer continues even when it lacks swap space (6436570)

If the system on which you run the Java ES installer does not have sufficient swap space to run the installer, the CLI mode installer (./installer -nodisplay) continues to run after displaying an error message that includes:


com.sun.entsys.dre.DREException: Not enough space

Solution If you see this message, exit the installer. Then, allocate more swap space or free up existing swap space before running the installer again.
