Atempting to install the Linux NetVault Client after a failed attempt, may fail with an error saying NetVault is already installed (4040591)

Atempting to install the NetVault Client after a failed attempt, may fail with an error saying NetVault is already installed even though no NetVault folder has been created on /usr/netvault or /opt/netvault.

Reinstalling NetVault Client on AIX or any Linux client

If an installation or upgrade is unsuccessful, the installer may not generate the regular log file. Instead, the installer may leave an intermediate log file named bitrock_installer.log or bitrock_installer_nnn.log in the system temporary directory. Within the log there may be an entry as follows:

Reading /etc/.nv6_home ...

Workaround:

Remove the ".nv6_home" file and run the installer to continue with the installation.
