Validating the Data Collector Installation
The following directions assume that the Data Collector files have been installed in their default location:
Windows (C:\Program Files\Aptare) or Linux (/opt/aptare).
If you have installed the files in a different directory, please make the necessary path translations as you follow these testing instructions.
NOTE: Running some of these commands can take up to several hours depending on the size of your enterprise.
1. Open a session.
Windows: Open a command prompt window.
Linux: Open a telnet session logged in as root to the Data Collector Server.
2. Change to the directory where you’ll run the validation script.
Windows: At the command prompt, type:
cd C:\Program Files\Aptare\mbs\bin <enter>
Linux: In the telnet session, type:
cd /opt/aptare/mbs/bin <enter>
3. Execute the validation script.
Windows: At the command prompt, type: checkinstall.bat <enter>
Linux: In the telnet session. type: ./checkinstall.sh <enter>
The checkinstall utility performs a high-level check of the installation, including a check for the domain, host group and URL, Data Collector policy and database connectivity. This utility will fail if a Data Collector policy has not been configured in the Portal. Check for status, listed in uppercase: SUCCESS, WARNING, and FAILED. Warning messages often simply indicate that a subsystem, such as a tape library, is not part of your environment.
Check for output similar to the following:
