Installation Process Overview
LINUX Installations
As with the Windows installation, the Unicenter DSM Installer for Linux is also
highly modularized, using multiple interdependent PIF packages (PIF is CA’s
proprietary Package Installation Format for Unix). Each PIF package covers an
appropriate Unicenter DSM component and together these PIF Packages form
a number of master PIF packages.
Log file location
Installer log files are written to the /tmp
folder and, once installation has
completed, the following two log files are copied to the /opt/CA/installer/log
xxx folder for safe keeping:
ca-dsm-setup.log
ca-dsm.install.log
As a result, the primary Unicenter DSM installation log can be in both of the
following locations:
/tmp/ca-dsm-xxxx.log
/opt/CA/installer/log/ca-dsm.install.log
where xxxx is a numerical value.
If there are multiple files within the /tmp
folder use this naming convention to find the largest one.
Aftercopy logs
During execution of the PIF packages, several component and sub-component
specific 'AfterCopy' functions are called to carry out specific configuration
procedures. These functions are provided as executables. Some of them write
to the main Unicenter DSM installer log (see above) while others create their
own log files which can be found in either of the following folders:
/tmp
/opt/CA/UnicenterDSM/logs
Folder selection will depend on what point in the installation process the After
Copy executable has been called.
The files are named as follows
TRC_yyy.log
Where yyy is the name of the sub-component.
