Debugging Software (De-)Installation on
Managed Nodes
OVO provides facilities for debugging the installation and de-installation
of the OVO software on the managed nodes. These tools help developers
when testing OVO installation scripts for new platforms, and assist
users in examining errors that occur during the installation of the OVO
agent software.
Facilities for Debugging (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. The debug facility is, therefore, available
regardless of whether the script inst.sh is invoked manually or called
by the OVO GUI.
