Troubleshooting SA installation

The following section provides information about problems that occur during installation and the resolutions to those problems.

Restarting an interrupted installation

Should the SA Installer encounter a correctable error, the installation stops. Correct the error and retry the installation. To restart an interrupted installation after you have corrected any errors, perform the following tasks:

1. Invoke the SA Installer using the temporary CDF that was created by the interrupted installation; for example:

   /<distro>/opsware_installer/hpsa_install.sh -c /var/tmp/cdf_ts_temp.xml

   where <distro> is the full path to the media. Use the latest CDF as determined by the time stamp. See How and when CDFs are saved for details.

2. You see a screen similar to the following:

   Specify Hosts to Install
========================

Currently specified hosts:

<IP_address> (oracle_sas)
<IP_address> (word_store)
<IP_address> (gateway_master, osprov_boot_slice, slice, osprov_media)

Please select one of the following options:

1. Add/edit host(s)
2. Delete host(s)

Enter the option number or one of the following directives
(<c>ontinue, <p>revious, <h>elp, <q>uit): c

   where <IP_address> is the IP address for the host(s) you specified during the interrupted installation (taken from the CDF).

   Press c to continue.

3. You see a screen similar to the following:

   Host Passwords
==============

Parameter 1 of 3
<IP_address> password []:

   Enter the root password for each host specified as part of the installation.

   When all passwords have been entered, press Y to continue.

   All values are entered. Do you wish to continue? (Y/N) [Y]:
End of interview.

   At this point, the SA Installer will check the state of any components already installed before the installation was interrupted.

4. Select the Install Type when prompted (must be the same as the Install Type selected for the interrupted installation).
5. You see a screen similar to the following:

   Host/Component Layout
=====================

Installed Components
Oracle RDBMS for SAS : <IP_address>
Model Repository, First Core : <IP_address>
Multimaster Infrastructure Components : <IP_address>
Software Repository Storage : <IP_address>
Slice : <IP_address>
OS Provisioning Media Server : <IP_address>
OS Provisioning Boot Server, Slice version : <IP_address>
Software Repository - Content (install once per mesh): <IP_address>

------------------------------------------

Select a component to assign

1. Slice

Enter the number of the component or one of the following directives
(<c>ontinue, <p>revious, <h>elp, <q>uit): c

   Press c to continue.

6. You see a screen similar to the following:

   Interview Parameters
====================

Navigation keys:
Use <ctrl>P to go to the previous parameter.
Use <ctrl>N to go the next parameter.
Use <tab> to view help on the current parameter.
Use <ctrl>C to abort the interview.


All prompts have values. What would you like to do:

1. Re-enter values
2. Continue

Enter the option number or one of the following directives
(<c>ontinue, <p>revious, <h>elp, <q>uit): c

   The SA Installer uses the parameter values specified in the CDF from the interrupted installation. You should not need to change these values. Press c to continue.

7. After the Installer completes some preparation, you see a screen similar to the following:

   Install components
==================

Components to be Installed
-------------------------
OS Provisioning Boot Server, Slice version: <IP_address>

Up-to-date Components (will not install)
----------------------------------------
Oracle RDBMS for SAS : <IP_address>
Model Repository, First Core : <IP_address>
Multimaster Infrastructure Components : <IP_address>
Software Repository Storage : <IP_address>
Slice : <IP_address>
OS Provisioning Media Server : <IP_address>
Software Repository - Content (install once per mesh): <IP_address>


Enter one of the following directives
(<c>ontinue, <p>revious, <h>elp, <q>uit):

   Note that the components that had been installed before the installation was interrupted are listed under Up-to-date Components (will not install).

   The uninstalled components are listed under Components to be Installed.

   Press c to continue the installation from the point it was interrupted.
