Debugging Software Installation and
De-Installation on Managed Nodes
HPOM provides facilities for debugging the installation and
de-installation of the HPOM software on the managed nodes. These tools
help developers when testing HPOM installation scripts for new
platforms, and assist users in examining errors that occur during the
installation of the HPOM agent software.
Facilities for Debugging Installation and
De-Installation
The following facilities are available:
❏
❏
Command Tracing
Prints shell commands and their arguments from installation
programs into a file specified in the file inst_debug.conf as
argument of the environment variable OPC_DEBUG_FILE.
Event Tracing
Can be used in addition to command tracing to record important
events of the installation process into the existing installation logfile:
/var/opt/OV/log/OpC/mgmt_sv/install.log
You can debug the installation or de-installation process locally (on the
management server) and remotely (on the managed node). A debug
definition file inst_debug.conf is provided to force debugging and to
specify debug options.
