Matej,

Does the "emserver.xml" file exist on the " /usr/local/avamar/var/em/server_data/prefs/" location path  ?
Acording to the output it could be something related with it .
Maybe is renamed to emserver.xml.org ... or whatever ...
please check this first .

regards,
.r

emserver.xml does not exist because /em/server_data/prefs/ is missing ......

em directory does not exist under /usr/local/avamar/var/

Stange, maybe is something wrong with instalation .......

BR

Matej,

is this new installation or what exact ?

regards,

.r

HI,

I have an EMC Avamar ADS 1TB Gen2 node and I am running a kickstart. The OS installation, the firmware updates, etc went well. I am now installing Avamar server software. Avqinstall does not complete. This is  the error I get.

avqinstall: INFO: starting lm service

avqinstall: INFO: starting gsan

avqinstall: INFO: to monitor progress, run in another window.......

avqinstall: ERROR: run command failed: 'start.dpn --clean --password="8RttoTriz" --systemname="JCP-AVAMAR-POC" -- repl_password="9RttoTriz" --lmaddr='10.0.0.36' --expert --hfsport=27000'

*** For details please see the log file.........

Any one with an idea please. Thanks Nyembe

I am doing that now. Will get back to once I have done that.

Regards,

Hello Nyembe,

Please reboot your utill node and give a try again with this syntax:
  # avqinstall --nocheck --noconnectemc --norequire_clean_system --nounpack

regards,
.r

Now the install.conf file is missing. Not on the node. What should I

do?????

Hi,

I have rekickstarted it and now face a new problem. After extracting the

dpnutils and dpnnetutil files, I check to se if the RHEL4_64 directory

is there. Then I ran the rpm -ivh command get the following errors.

what am I missing? Should I restart it again?

Message was edited by: nyembe Now the INSTALL.CONF File is missing after I have restarted the process. WHat is going on? Can I download a template files somewhere?

Now it is working by doing the following below. I hope it will not

affect the installation further down.

Hi,

I am not following your install.

Are you following the Avamar Software installation guide at all?

The following is the steps after unpacking and running the dpnnetutil

• Verification Testing
  
• Network Throughput Testing
  
• Pre-Burn-In Testing
  
• Post-Burn-In Testing
  
• Server Software Installation and Configuration
  
  • This is where you need to unpack the avqinstall rpms and then modify the install.conf
    

Since it is a POC.

I would go for a new install but run the necessary tasks for re-installation of a system where you need to clean the system first and run certain switches on the commands.
