This is pretty old installer, look for 4.0.8.4 on SLD site. You are running it under root ?

Hi - apologies I was not clear.  I have the latest 4.0.8 installer and that is the one I am trying to use but with no success.  Yes I am running the install as root.

Have you checked MD5 ? Your installation folder should look different

After extracting TAR, installer-teaming.linux is already ready to install.


Hi - yes MD5 matches.  I've just downloaded again to make sure I have a fresh copy but still get the installer-teaming.linux not found error!

Hi Marcus,

two things:

1) based on the files size it is clear you have the 4.0.8 installer, not the 4.0.8.4 one. To get the 4.0.8.4 it could be necessary to check if you can upgrade your entitlement/activation in SLD, or you may just need to chose the right version from the dropdown above the list. For a number of reasons you should definitely install 4.0.8.4!

2) the "No such file or directory" does not necessarily have to mean the installer. The installer has dependencies and starts several other binaries, especially zip. You should have at least the packages tcl, tcl-32bit, tk,tk-32bit, libstdc++-32bit, zip, and libzip installed for the installer to run.

The installer does not need an installer.xml or a license-key.xml to start. Until it starts, the issue is almost alwaays a dependency or rights (I don't know if you can run into issues with the installer being on NSS and the rights being funky). Without license-key.xml it will tell you it's missing the license, without installer.xml all values in the dialogs are be the default values and you have to set everything again, plus there may be issues when doing an upgrade installation, e.g. losing post-install customisations.
If you are missing your last installer.xml, you can find in at <teaming-base>/teaming-config or <teaming-bas>/install-config, depending on what version it was last (<teaming-base< by default being /opt/novell/teaming/. A "find -iname -type f installer.xml" in <teaming-base> should get it for you.

HTH!

Thanks for the pointers Christian, you were spot on with the dependencies.  Here is what I had and what I installed

tcl, YES
tcl-32bit, NO, installed tcl-32bit
tk, NO, installed tk
tk-32bit, NO installed tk-32bit
libstdc++-32bit, NO installed libstdc++6-32 bit
zip, YES
libzip NO installed libzip5, libzzip-0-13

The installer-linux.teaming file now works!

Thanks for the update, good to know it works now :).
