Installation log files

Use these log files to troubleshoot problems that are related to installation.

(IBM® Tivoli® Storage Productivity Center only)
The installation process has two parts: the prerequisite check and the installation. If the installer fails during prerequisite checking, the logs can be found in the following user-home directories:
Operating system Directory
AIX® /home/root
Linux® /root
Windows c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator

After the prerequisite checking stage is complete, information from the prerequisite log files is copied to the log files in the installation directory.

The following log files are in the installation directory:

TPCRMInstall.loginstall_CSM.log
Installation log file for base Copy Services Manager installation.
AdvEdTPCRMInstall.loginstall_CSM_err.log
Installation log file for the IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center for Replication Two Site Business Continuity installer and the IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center for Replication Three Site Business Continuity installer. This file is present if either the Two Site BC or Three Site BC versions is installed.
