Software Planning and Installation Guide


Step 12. Verify the installation

For a full installation, you can use the rconsole command to view the progress of the installation on each node. To run the rconsole command on all the nodes, type the following:

rconsole -a

The rconsole command displays a console for each node in the cluster.

To check the results of the installation, you can use the monitorinstall command. The monitorinstall command starts the installation monitor tool, which displays the status of the installation on each of the nodes. It returns the following types of status:

To run the monitorinstall command, type the following:

monitorinstall

The monitorinstall command writes output similar to this:

Node                        Status
-----------------------------------------------
clsn02.ppd.pok.ibm.com      Installed
clsn03.ppd.pok.ibm.com      Installed
clsn04.ppd.pok.ibm.com      Installed
clsn05.ppd.pok.ibm.com      Installed
clsn06.ppd.pok.ibm.com      Installed
clsn07.ppd.pok.ibm.com      Installed
clsn08.ppd.pok.ibm.com      Not Installed

All nodes should be listed as Installed.

If there is a problem, see /var/log/csm/installnode.log on the management server or /var/log/csm/install.log on the managed node for information on what happened on each node during installation.

To check the installation of the nodes, you can also use the lsnode command, as follows:

lsnode -a Mode
lsnode returns a list of the active nodes in the cluster, along with their Mode attributes. Nodes that were successfully installed are set to Managed.

To check that dsh is working, issue a simple dsh command. For example:

dsh -a date

A list of the nodes in the cluster is returned, with a date for each node.
