After you submit one or more requests to the centralized
installation manager (CIM), you can monitor the progress of and view
specific details about each installation and uninstallation request.
About this task
In the administrative console, the Installations
in Progress and Installation History panels
provide you with information on the status of the installation and
uninstallation requests that you submit to the centralized installation
manager for processing. However, each panel provides you with different
options for using that information to monitor and manage your requests.
The Installations in Progress panel provides
you with options to view and monitor the progress of each request.
You can also cancel any pending requests from this panel. From the Installation
History panel, you can monitor the completion status,
delete the history records, and access the error messages and log
files of each completed request.
Monitoring the progress of requests
Complete the
following steps to monitor the progress of requests:
Click in the administrative console.
Review the table for specific details about each request, which
are described in the following list:
- Host name specifies the name of the workstation on which
the request is performed.
- Operation specifies the type of request, such as install,
uninstall, or install SSH public key.
- Package and Features specifies the name of the software
package and any accompanying features that make up the installation
request.
- Creation time specifies the date and time you submit the
request.
- Status specifies the progress of the request.
You may optionally cancel a request if
it has not started. Select one or more rows from the table, and click Cancel
Pending Request to cancel only the requests that are not
yet started.
Review the confirmation panel, and click OK to
return to the Installations in Progress page.
Viewing completion status and request details
Complete
the following steps to view the completion status and details of requests:
Click in the administrative console.
Review the table for specific details about each request. The
table that is displayed on this page lists the same descriptive information
as the table on the Installations in Progress page, except the status
is displayed as one of the following completion types:
- Succeeded
- Failed
- Installation completed, but errors detected
- Uninstallation completed, but errors detected
Click Remove to delete the history records
from the deployment manager. Review the confirmation panel, and click Remove again.
Click
View details to view the log files
and any error messages. A new page now displays any errors that might
have occurred, and the links to the actual log content.
- Click the specific link to read the content of a log file. If
you previously deleted the log files from the remote workstation,
an error message is displayed. If you replace existing log files with
new ones, the updated content is displayed.
- Click OK to return to the Installation
History page.
What to do next
Return to the Available Installations page to resubmit
a canceled or failed request, or submit a new request to the CIM.
In
the case of certain failed requests, you might need to correct the
error on the remote workstations before resubmitting the requests.
For installations that are partially successful, examine the logs
to correct the problem. You can manually complete the remaining installation
steps. With this option, you do not need to resubmit the requests.
Alternatively, if the failure state of the request is closer to the
starting state, you can return the workstation to the starting state
before you resubmit the requests.
