Check Item
When you set the optional outputDir parameter on the command line and the
h
output directory does not exist, Prerequisite Scanner creates the directory. You
must have write permissions to create or write to the output directory in which
Prerequisite Scanner saves the files. If you do not have write permissions, the
following error message is written to the command-line interface:
ERROR: Cannot create files in output directory ips_output_dir. Exit.
Before you run Prerequisite Scanner, ensure that disk to which you want to run
h
Prerequisite Scanner and save the results to the output directory is not full;
otherwise, the following error message is written to the command-line interface:
ERROR: Cannot create files in output directory ips_output_dir. Exit.
If Prerequisite Scanner generates a return code of 2, a script usage or collector
h
error might have occurred. Review the causes associated with this error code. If
a script usage error occurred, rerun Prerequisite Scanner by using the correct
syntax.
