monitorinstall Command

Name

monitorinstall - Displays the status of the CSM installation on each of the nodes.

Synopsis

monitorinstall [-h] [-v | -V] [-e] [-i] [-l] [-u]

Description

The monitorinstall command displays the status of the CSM installation on each of the nodes. A filtering scheme can be used to display only nodes of interest. By default, all of the PreManagedNodes and ManagedNodes that are defined in the cluster are displayed in the installation monitor. You can choose to display all nodes, only the installed nodes, only the not-installed nodes, or only the nodes that failed to install. By default, if an option is not specified, all nodes are displayed. To run the monitorinstall command at specified intervals, use the watch command.

Options

-e
Shows only the nodes that had an error during the installation process. Can be used with the -i or -u option to display different types of nodes. Note that some errors are undetectable by monitorinstall. If none of the options are specified, then all of the nodes are displayed.

-h
Writes the command's usage statement to standard output.

-i
Shows only the nodes that are installed. Can be used with the -e or -u option to display different types of nodes. Note that some errors are undetectable by monitorinstall. If none of the options are specified, then all of the nodes are displayed.

-l
Displays output in long format.

-u
Shows only the nodes that are not installed and nodes that are in the process of installing. Can be used with the -e or -i option to display different types of nodes. Note that some errors are undetectable by monitorinstall. If none of the options are specified, then all of the nodes are displayed.

-v | -V
Writes the command's verbose messages to standard output.

Examples

  1. To display the progress of the installation, type:
