Network Installation Management Guide and Reference
Verifying Installation with the lppchk Operation
You can use the lppchk operation to
check the integrity of installed software. This is particularly useful when
investigating functional problems in software.
From Web-based System Manager
- From the NIM container, select a target standalone machine, or in the NIM
Resources container, select a target SPOT.
- From the Selected menu, select Troubleshooting > Verify
Installed Software.
- Use the dialog to select whether to verify all or some installed software
on
the selected machine or SPOT. If you want to verify file existence and
length (fast check), initiate the verify action.
If you want to perform another type of verification, click Advanced.
Select the type of verification to perform and choose additional options as
needed.
From SMIT
- Enter the smit nim_mac_op
fast
path to check software on a machine, or enter smit nim_res_op to check
software on a SPOT.
- Select the target of the lppchk
operation.
- Select the desired verification mode.
From the Command Line
Enter the following command:
nim -o lppchk -a filesets=FilesetName \
-a lppchk_flags="lppchkFlags" ObjectName
where FilesetName is the name of
a
single fileset (or a name wildcarded with the * character), and
ObjectName is the name of the machine or SPOT which is the
target of the lppchk operation. Valid lppchk_flags are defined as
follows:
-f |
Fast check (file existence, file length) |
-c |
Checksum verification |
-v |
Fileset version consistency check (default) |
-l |
File link verification
Note: Only one of the flags
-f, -c, -v, or -l may be specified. |
-u |
Update inventory (only valid with -c or -l) |
-mn |
Controls detail of messages. n equals1 to 3, where 3 is the
most verbose. |
For example, to perform the lppchk
operation while verifying checksums for all filesets on the machine named
Standalone1, enter the following:
nim -o lppchk -a lppchk_flags="-c"
Standalone1
