After you submit one or more requests to the centralized installation
manager, you can monitor the progress of and view specific details about each
installation and uninstallation request.
About this task
In the administrative console, the Installations in Progress and
Installation History panels provide you with information on the status of
the installation and uninstallation requests that you submit to the centralized
installation manager for processing. However, each panel provides you with
different options for using that information to monitor and manage your requests.
Installations in Progress provides you with options to view and monitor the
progress of each request, and you can also cancel any pending requests from
this panel. From the Installation History panel, you can monitor the completion
status, delete the history records, and access the error messages and log
files of each incomplete request.
Procedure
- Complete the following steps to monitor the progress of requests:
- Click System administration > Centralized Installation Manager
> Installations in Progress in the administrative console.
- Review the table for specific details about each request, which
are described in the following list:
- Host name specifies the name of the workstation on which the request
is performed.
- Operation specifies the type of request, such as install, uninstall,
or install SSH public key.
- Package and Features specifies the name of the software package
and any accompanying features that make up the installation request.
- Creation time specifies the date and time you submit the request.
- Status specifies the progress of the request.
- Select one or more rows from the table, and click Cancel
Pending Request to cancel only the requests that are not yet started.
- Review the confirmation panel, and click OK to return
to the Installations in Progress panel.
- Complete the following steps to view the completion status and
details of requests:
- Click System administration > Centralized Installation Manager
> Installation History in the administrative console.
- Review the table for specific details about each request.
The table that is displayed lists the same descriptive information
as the table on the Installations in Progress panel, except that the status
is displayed as one of the following completion types:
- Succeeded
- Failed
- Installation succeeded, Configuration failed
- Click Remove to delete the history records from the deployment
manager.
Review the confirmation panel, and click Remove again.
- Click View details to view the log files and any error
messages.
A new page now displays any errors that might occur,
and the links to the actual log content. The error messages always display
before the links.
What to do next
Return to the Available Installations panel to resubmit
a canceled or failed request, or submit a new request to the centralized installation
manager.
In the case of certain failed requests, you might need to correct
the error on the remote workstations before resubmitting the requests. For
installations that are partially successful, examine the logs to correct the
problem. You can manually complete the remaining installation steps. With
this option, you do not need to resubmit the requests. Alternatively, if the
failure state of the request is closer to the starting state, you can return
the workstation to the starting state before you resubmit the requests.
