Installer unable to verify OS minimum requirements [CR #628684]

On HP systems, if the expanded_node_host_names kernel parameter is not set to the default value of 0 and the host name is greater than eight characters, the Sybase IQ installer reports this warning, even if you are installing on a supported version of the operating system:

The installer is unable to verify whether your operating
system meets the minimum requirements.

If you continue to install, the installer reports:

Errors occurred during the installation. An error
occurred and production installation failed. Look at the
log file <path>log.txt for details.

log.txt contains various errors, including no such file or directory.

Workaround: Set the expanded_node_host_names kernel parameter to the default value of 0.
