Completing the UNIX host agent installation and next steps
NOTE:
This section is also applicable for the upgrade process.
The XP Performance Advisor UNIX host agent is installed based on the settings that you selected on
the previous installation windows. After the installation (or upgrade) completes, a command prompt
window appears displaying the message that the host agent services have started. Press any key to
close the command prompt window.
XP Performance Advisor UNIX host agent post-installation steps
The following XP Performance Advisor UNIX host agent services start:
• HP XP Performance Advisor Hostagent
• HP XP Performance Advisor Realtime Server
To confirm whether the above-mentioned services have started, see Confirming the XP Performance
Advisor UNIX host agent services on page 80.
You can also verify whether the host agent log file is created, by typing the following command at
the prompt: /opt/xppa/hostagent/log/
The name of the log file is prefixed with the date and time, that is
yyyy-MM-dd_hh-mm-ss_PerformanceAdvisorXP.log. For example,
2009-09-16_09-22-08_PerformanceAdvisorXP.log
Based on whether you have performed an installation or upgrade, do one of the following:
• Return to the installation checklist to complete the remaining checklist items. For more information,
see Table 2 on page 16.
• Return to the upgrade checklist to complete the remaining checklist items. For more information,
