7.4 dlmgetrasinst Utility for Collecting HDLM Installation Error

Information

This utility collects information that is needed to analyze errors that have occurred for

some reason during installation of HDLM. The collected information is archived in a

file and saved to the directory that you specified. The following files are output:

getrasinst.tar.Z

This file contains compressed system information.

For details about the information that is stored in the system crash dump file and

getrasinst.tar.Z

, see 7.4.3 List of Collected Error Information.

7.4.1 Format

DVD-ROM-drive-directory

/HDLM_AIX/hdlmtool/dlmgetrasinst

{

directory-to-which-collected-information-is-output

| -h}

7.4.2 Parameters

directory-to-which-collected-information-is-output

Specify the output directory for the information that is to be collected by the

dlmgetrasinst

utility for collecting HDLM installation error information. The

collected information is compiled into two files shown in Function and output in

the specified directory.

-h

Displays the format of the

dlmgetrasinst

utility.

Note

We recommend that you execute the

dlmgetrasinst

utility on the HDLM

installation DVD-ROM. If you use the utility by copying it to another location

from the DVD-ROM, also copy the

UtilAudLog

file to the same directory to

which you copy the

dlmgetrasinst

file.

Because

dlmgetrasinst

first stores error information in the specified output

directory before compressing, ensure that information collection areas allocated

are of adequate size.

If the specified directory to which collected information is output already exists,

an overwrite confirmation message is displayed. Responding by entering

y

instructs the

dlmgetrasinst

utility to overwrite the existing files; entering

n

(or

anything other than

y

) instructs the utility to terminate without executing.

In the latter case, you can either rename the existing directory before re-executing

the utility, or you can execute the utility with a different directory name specified.
