During TSM Upgrade to 7.1 you get a message that says "java.io.IOException: There is not enough space in the file system."

Even thou, there are requirements for /var, /tmp. During the TSM 7.1 server upgrade, if space is needed in /tmp, the install logs will say "/tmp" or say it at the screen. As for files that need to be backed up under /opt/IBM/IBMIMShared/native/com.tivoli.dsm.server.db2.aix.ppc64_10.5.301.86.zip, it just returns the message list above. SO you have to spend about 45 min to research this issue before considering to call IBM support for assistance. It would be nice if it would also say at the screen or in installing logs that /var is the location where space is needed versus "
=====> IBM Installation Manager> Install> Prerequisites> Shared Directory>
Location> Features> Custom panels> Summary> Completion

There were problems during the installation."
ERROR: Error during "pre-install configure" phase:

java.io.IOException: There is not enough space in the file system.

O. OK, D. Hide Details
This would save the techinician time as well as a call to support.
