Issue:
When attempting to update plugins (such as Active plugins) into Tenable SecurityCenter, an error is received such as: "Error untaring Plugins (rc = 2)"
Environment:
Web Interface of Tenable SecurityCenter hosted on RedHat
Symptoms:
Plugins may or may not appear to be working for a moment, however they quickly fail. An error message indicates: "Error untaring Plugins (rc = 2)".
Solution:
Although this could very well be traced to a corrupt tar.gz file (in which case, re-download and try again), the solution in this case was to free up some hard disk space. Logging into the Redhat SecurityCenter installation, I noted that although the plugins are roughly 150MB, when untarred and gz'ed, they expand to a size requiring up to 900MB. If there is anything less than 1GB free on the root (/) partition, some of it should be moved or removed.
