I have downloaded the install file splunkforwarder-6.2.4-271043-SunOS10-sparc.tar.z for a server running solaris10.
I initially tried the following (taken from install guide)
tar -xvzf /tmp/splunkforwarder-6.2.4-271043-SunOS10-sparc.tar.z -C /opt
tar: z: unknown function modifier
Usage: tar {c|r|t|u|x}[BDeEFhilmnopPqTvw@[0-7]][bfk][X...] [blocksize] [tarfile] [size] [exclude-file...] {file | -I include-file | -C directory file}...
bash-3.2#
I was told to drop the z and use tar -xvf........
But I'm now getting a directory checksum error - see below:
tar -xvf /tmp/splunkforwarder-6.2.4-271043-SunOS10-sparc.tar.z /opt
tar: directory checksum error
I found some feedback about a similar issue, but with an older forwarder version. There was a suggestion to use the zcat command first.
bash-3.2# zcat splunkforwarder-6.2.4-271043-SunOS10-sparc.tar.z
splunkforwarder-6.2.4-271043-SunOS10-sparc.tar.z.Z: No such file or directory
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks!
