Explanation: An attempt to write to /tmp was unsuccessful. The most likely reason for this is that /tmp is full. The spmkuser, spchuser, or sprmuser command does not succeed, and passwd and group files are left in their original state.

User Response: Make additional space in /tmp and retry the command.

0027-170Command unsuccessful. Not enough room in /tmp.

Explanation: There is not enough space in /tmp to complete the command. The spmkuser, spchuser, or sprmuser command does not succeed, and passwd and group files are left in their original state.
