Description

After invocation of the fse --start command on a particular FSE system host, some FSE

 

processes that should be started on the host (consolidated FSE system, FSE server or external

 

FSE client) are not running.

 

(SUSE Linux Enterprise Server system specific)

Explanation

If the required FSE packages were installed on the host using a single rpm command, some of

 

the packages may not have been installed correctly, due to unresolved dependencies. The

 

reason for this is the rpm command included in the SUSE Linux distributions, which does not

 

automatically sort the specified packages in order to resolve their dependencies.

Workaround Check which packages have been successfully installed on the system:

1.At the command prompt, enter:

# ls -a /etc/opt/fse

2.Inspect the command output for files that determine installed packages. On a consolidated FSE system, check for the following files:

.agent.pkg

.cli-admin.pkg

.cli-user.pkg

.client.pkg

.common.pkg

.server.pkg

On an FSE server, check for the following files:

.agent.pkg

.cli-admin.pkg

.common.pkg

.server.pkg

On an external FSE client, check for the following files:

.cli-user.pkg

.client.pkg

.common.pkg

If any of the above files are missing, perform the following steps to reinstall the required packages:

a. Determine which packages you tried to install, as follows:

#rpm -qa grep "^fse-" grep -v fse-gui.client.pkg

b.Reinstall all the packages listed in the command output. Use the sequence described in chapter ”Installing FSE software” in the FSE installation guide for Linux, and the following command to reinstall each package:

#rpm -U --replacepkgs --replacefiles PackageName
