Linux-UNIX: Enable K-TAP after installation if P-CAP was installed by default

If, during the installation process, K-TAP fails to load properly, possibly caused by hardware or software incompatibility, P-CAP is installed as the default collection mechanism. To switch to K-TAP, after compatibility issues are resolved, follow these steps.

Procedure

  1. Resolve any issues with the K-TAP, such as submitting a module request to IBM or installing kernel development packages.
    Note: If you installed a GIM S-TAP bundle, set export GIM_CONTEXT=Y. For example:
    export GIM_CONTEXT=Y
  2. Run the script guard_ktap_loader retry from the ktap directory:
    • shell/RPM installation:guardium/guard_stap/ktap/current
    • GIM installation: modules/KTAP/current
    If K-TAP loads successfully, the guard_tap.ini parameter ktap_installed is automatically set to 1 (yes).
