An error occurred: Could not create Splunk settings directory at '/root/.splunk'.

Hello @venkatasri No, I was using this command in the root user itself. One morething we have different zones in our environment like DRN,iDMZ . I can do this command from the iDMZ zone deployment servers but not able to run this one in the DRN environment.
