CAUSE

Ct has env variable TMP pointing to shared location, not  local file system 
 
ie)
echo $TMP
/stage01/tempdir
 

/stage01/tempdir is shared file system, not local mount

 

Oracle Database Online Documentation 11g Release 2 (11.2) / Installing and Upgrading
Universal Installer and OPatch User's Guide

TEMP/TMP Directory

On both UNIX and Windows installations, temporary copies of Oracle Universal Installer and JRE are placed in the TEMP or TMP directory in a subdirectory named /OraInstall<timestamp> so that these applications can be launched when you change CD-ROMs. Note that temporary files are created for single-CD installations as well. On both UNIX and Windows, Oracle Universal Installer looks for %TEMP% then %TMP%. If neither is set, Oracle Universal Installer defaults to /tmp on UNIX and c:\temp on Windows

Note:
The TEMP/TMP directory should not be a cluster file system or a shared location

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Setting tmp shared location may cause problem with remote file copy/ hang at inventory saving step

In 12c, installer may validate tmp location at pre-req check step

 

SOLUTION

 set TMP env variable to local file system with free space (At least 1 GB), not shared location
 

ie)

echo $TMP

/tmp
