After a node installs, there are several log files you can examine to help you debug installation errors:
/root/install.log
A list of all the RPMs that were installed. This is the order in which the RPMs were installed and the architecture of each package that was installed.
Example output:
Installing words-3.0-9.1.noarch Installing libgcc-4.1.2-48.el5.i386 Installing libgcc-4.1.2-48.el5.x86_64 Installing glibc-2.5-49.el5_5.7.x86_64 Installing glibc-2.5-49.el5_5.7.i686 Installing chkconfig-1.3.30.2-2.el5.x86_64 Installing zlib-1.2.3-3.x86_64 |
/root/anaconda.log
The output of the ananconda installer. It shows the steps the anaconda installer executed as well as the output of the sub-commands anaconda executed.
Example output:
18:58:53 INFO : moving (1) to step partitionobjinit 18:58:53 INFO : ISCSID is /usr/sbin/iscsid 18:58:53 INFO : no initiator set18:58:53 INFO : no /tmp/fcpconfig; not configuring zfcp 18:58:53 DEBUG : starting mpaths18:58:53 DEBUG : self.driveList(): ['sda', 'sdb'] 18:58:53 DEBUG : DiskSet.skippedDisks: [] 18:58:53 DEBUG : DiskSet.skippedDisks: [] 18:58:53 DEBUG : done starting mpaths. Drivelist: ['sda', 'sdb'] |
/var/log/rocks-install.log
Error messages from all the post sections will be found in this log file. In general, all you will see are "begin post section" and "end post section" messages.
Example output:
./nodes/411-client.xml: begin post section ./nodes/411-client.xml: end post section ./nodes/411-client.xml: begin post section ./nodes/411-client.xml: end post section ./nodes/411-client.xml: begin post section ./nodes/411-client.xml: end post section |
/root/syslog
This is the syslog from the host during its installation phase.
Example output:
<6>Checking 'hlt' instruction... OK. <6>SMP alternatives: switching to UP code <6>ACPI: Core revision 20060707 <4>CPU0: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5320 @ 1.86GHz stepping 07 <6>SMP alternatives: switching to SMP code <4>Booting processor 1/1 eip 11000 <4>CPU 1 irqstacks, hard=c0769000 soft=c0749000 <6>Initializing CPU#1 |
/root/httpd.log
A copy of the log messages from lighttpd. Lighttpd is used on an installing node to execute key parts of the Avalanche Installer. You will see messages (in apache log format) that log the http requests to lighttpd.
Example output:
