installation logs

[Jimmy Roux_1]

Hello,

If I am going to install the latest version of HPUX 11.11, what are the "must check" logs that I need to look at to ensure that the installation was successful?

Thanks,

Jimmy

I would definitely check /var/adm/sw/swagent.log. Carefully go through and verify everthing is OK.

Also run the following command:

# swlist -l fileset -a state | grep -v configured | grep -v "^#"

The result should be a blank line. Anything else could be a potential problem (not necessarily a problem if they are patch filesets that have been superseded).

Also ensure "ioscan -fn" shows everything as CLAIMED.

Also check /etc/rc.log and /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log for any errors.

Hope it helps.


Tim.

Hi

You will generally know pretty quickly if the installation was not successful.
You can check the logs in the /var/adm/sw. Logs to check are swinstall.log and swagent.log.

You can also run:
# swlist -a state -l fileset
All software should show a state of configured.

Cheers
