Pre-Check Generated Files

The pre-check script (see Using the Pre-Check Script) generates the following files:

  • Precheck Log: This log is more detailed than the basic output described in Sample Pre-Check Output, but contains high-level information based on the options supplied when you ran the script and the findings generated by the script. This file will be stored in /tmp/bd_prechecks.<pid>.log, where <pid> is the process ID number of the script run, such as 11893. HPE may request this file if you contact us for technical support.
  • Xtrace: This file is a verbose, line-by-line description of the exact commands used by the script to both get data and determine the outcome of each test. This file will be stored in /tmp/bd_prechecks.<pid>.log.xtrace, where <pid> is the process ID number of the script run, such as 11893. It is intended for use by HPE for support purposes, and HPE may request this file if you contact us for technical support.
NOTE Neither the .log nor .xtrace files will pass any data or other sensitive information to HPE.
  • Configuration file: The pre-check script will also generate a configuration file that you can use to speed up installing the Controller host. This file passes relevant configuration to the installer and bypasses the checking performed by that script. This file will be named /tmp/bd_prechecks.conf. See Using the Pre-Check Config File.
CAUTION DO NOT MODIFY THE CONTENTS OF THE CONFIG FILE BEFORE PASSING IT TO THE INSTALLER AS THIS COULD CAUSE THE CONTROLLER HOST INSTALLATION PROCESS TO FAIL.
CAUTION THE PRE-CHECK SCRIPT WILL GENERATE A CONFIGURATION FILE REGARDLESS OF ANY WARNINGS OR ERRORS ENCOUNTERED. DO NOT USE THE CONFIGURATION FILE TO INSTALL HPE EZMERAL CONTAINER PLATFORM IF ANY TESTS HAVE FAILED.
