Running the installation must gather tool

Log files are generated while IBM® Intelligent Operations Center is installed. A tool is available to gather these log files for analysis.

Procedure

  1. Log on the installation server as root and open a terminal window.
  2. Change to the install_home/ioc/bin directory.
  3. Run the export JAVA_HOME=/opt/ibm/java-x86_64-60/jre command to set the JAVA_HOME variable to use the Java 6 runtime JRE.
  4. Run the ./mustgather.sh -p password command where password is the topology password. The tool scans the topology properties file the first time it is run. If the topology properties file is changed after running the tool, add -n to the command to have the tool re-scan the topology properties file. For example, ./mustgather.sh -n -p password.
