All SD-UX commands (except swlist and swacl) log error messages, summary information
about the session, and operation details to a command-specific logfile
located (by default) in /var/adm/sw/<command>.log. For example, if you wanted to examine the logfile
for swinstall, you would look in the file /var/adm/sw/swinstall.log. You can also examine target
agent logfiles for a current session from the swinstall, swcopy, or swremove GUIs.
If you have log-in access to a target host, you
can see its agent logfile(s) directly.
The location of the agent logfile varies, depending on the type of
target:
/var/adm/sw/swagent.log when operating on a host’s primary root.
/<root_path>/var/adm/sw/swagent.log for an alternate root.
/<depot_path>/swagent.log for a target or source depot.
The default location of a host’s daemon
logfile is /var/adm/sw/swagentd.log. This logfile
contains information for problems starting agents, particularly for
problems where you have access denied to a depot or root.

 | NOTE: When both the source and target machine are updated
to HP-UX 10.30 or later, the system administrator at the source depot
machine can track which user pulls which software from a depot and
when the software is pulled. Refer to the source_depot_audit option in Appendix A or “Source Depot Auditing”. |

Error Messages |
|
SD-UX error messages indicate that a problem occurred
that will influence the overall outcome of an operation.
For example, if a target in an install session
fails the analysis phase due to insufficient disk space, you would
find the following error message in the agent log file:
ERROR: The estimated disk space used on filesystem "/" is
14104 Kbyte blocks. This operation will exceed the
minimum free space for this disk. You should free up at
least 2280 Kbyte blocks to avoid installing beyond this
threshold of available user disk space. If you are
running interactive "swinstall", you must return to the
Selection Window and Unmark this target before using
"swremove" to free disk space. |
Warning Messages |
|
Warning messages let you know that something unexpected
and potentially undesirable occurred. A warning does not prevent the
SD session from continuing. Warning messages during analysis of an
interactive session give you the chance to continue or stop.
For example, if the fileset SD-DATABASE.SD-DATABASE2
is being installed in multiple locations on a target system, you would
find the following warning message in the agent log file:
WARNING: A version of fileset "SD-DATABASE.SD-DATABASE2,r=9.00.1C"
is already installed in another location (see previous
lines). Installing this version will create multiple
installed versions. This new multiple version will be
installed because the "allow_multiple_versions" option is
set to "true". |
Notes |
|
Notes are used to notify you of an event that
is not erroneous, unexpected or undesirable, but that you should be
aware of:
NOTE: The fileset "SD-DATABASE.SD-DATABASE1,r=9.00.1C" is
already installed. If you wish to reinstall this
fileset, change the "reinstall" option to "true". |
