Troubleshooting the Installation
InForm OS Version 2.3.1 3PAR InForm CLI Administrator’s Manual
2.5.3 Command-Line Installation on Solaris and Linux
To install the InForm CLI on Solaris platforms:
1 Log in as
root.
2 Insert the InForm CLI and SNMP CD into your drive.
3 Start the installation using the
setup.bin file:
/cdrom/InFormCLI_and_SNMP/solaris|linux/setup.bin
4 Log out and log back in.
The default installation location is
/opt/3PAR/inform_cli_<version>.
2.5.4 Setting the Path to the CLI on Solaris and Linux
Once the CLI has been installed on your system, the InstallAnywhere application attempts to
automatically set the path to the CLI for the root user by adding an entry to your local login
file. The modified file is specific to the shell that you are using during the CLI installation.
If InstallAnywhere is unable to modify the login file, you will need to set the path to the CLI
manually. In order to call commands on the CLI easily from the shell you are using, add the
directory where the CLI commands are installed to your shell path.
For example, if you are using the Bourne or bash shells and the commands have been installed
in
/opt/3PAR/inform_cli_<version>/bin, then issue the following commands:
$ PATH=$PATH:/opt/3PAR/inform_cli_<version>/bin
$ export PATH
The <version> is the current release version, for example 2.3.1.
2.6 Troubleshooting the Installation
The InstallAnywhere application creates an error log named install.log in the installation
directory. If you encounter a failure while installing the InForm CLI, please provide the
install.log file when contacting your local service provider for technical support.
For Solaris and Linux, if you installed the InForm CLI in the default location, this log file is
located at:
/opt/3PAR/inform_cli_<version>/log/install.log
