After installation of the product, verify actual checksums of installed files against a bill of materials that ships with the product. If the checksums match, the installed product is installed correctly. If the checksums differ, review the differences to determine whether a problem exists.
Complete the product installation before attempting to compare checksums of the installed files to the shipped bill of materials.
Use the installver_wbi command to compare a set of bill-of-material files against a checksum of the installed files to verify that all installed files are correct. The product includes a bill-of-materials file for each component to provide this system of verifying installation files.
The installver_wbi tool dynamically generates a list of total components found in the installation.
Change directories to the bin directory to start the installver_wbi tool from the command line.
To check the bill of materials against the installed file system, perform the following steps.
When you issue one of the checksum commands from the install_root/bin directory, the status of the command is displayed on the terminal console.
The messages report the total number of issues found. If the issue count is zero, all of the components exist and no problems exist. The installver_wbi utility logs the results of the command to the install_root/logs/installver.log file if you use the -log parameter without specifying a file name for the log.
You can redirect the output using the -log parameter and an argument. The directory that you specify must already exist. For example: ./installver_wbi.sh -log /tmp/waslogs/my_installver.log
