Manual HTTPS Agent Installation-Deinstallation (1)

In OpenView on 18 February 2009 with no comments flame_ico 41 views

Having pre-installed machine to be used for agent installation experiment is somehow tedious. But, I benefit from the troubleshooting effort.

Actually the pointers is written in Arsena – OVO Admin Guide v1.0a, but it wasn’t emphasized visually as being significant (so I missed it). There are three common install situation:

Clean. OVCoreID and node mapping is triggered by agent (usually fresh install)
Messy. Node mapping is not exist
More Messy. OVCoreID mismatch (usually there was previous ID from previous deinstallation)

How to find which trouble I’m into?

opccsa -list_pending_cr

The problem is: it’d take some time for the pending-list to appear in the management server. I did restart (ovc -restart) the server, but it only helped a little (inconsistent). The server may have too much load at that time as the pending-list is appearing completely in the following day:

 Hostname  |                         Request ID  |                  Mapped Host  |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
localhost.localdomain  d936333e-f6a4-7537-0376-8e055989b35e
localhost.localdomain  e8087476-f686-7537-16ba-c77d2fc599e3
rhel-arif.internal.mycompany.lan  6e73e0a6-f57c-7537-1622-b0d28f73264c
tikanga3.internal.mycompany.lan  <strong>bc0a2506-f8d2-7537-1416-e692e27b7af0</strong>  tikanga3.internal.mycompany.lan
tikanga3.internal.mycompany.lan  d1f8b5b2-d14a-7537-0325-c7ed4464fe55

In Messy situation. We need to map the node through command line or Motif GUI.

Once, I do it through GUI:.

In the 2nd attempt I mix: adding node in GUI: Actions > Add Node and then map using command line:

opccsa -map_node bc0a2506-f8d2-7537-1416-e692e27b7af0=tikanga3

Those numbers are request ID listed in list_pending_cr. tikanga3 is the name of the node that we’ve added.

To add node through command line (instead of GUI) do:

opcnode -add_node node_name=tikanga3.internal.mycompany.lan node_label=tikanga3 net_type=NETWORK_IP mach_type=MACH_BBC_LX26RPM_X86 comm_type=COMM_BBC group_name=Linux layout_group=MenaraDuta

If layout_group isn’t included by default the added node will be in layout group HoldingArea.
