Resuming a stopped or failed installation (BigFix scenario)
You can rerun the installation of the License Metric Tool server during the pre-installation and installation phases. You can also use the built-in function to diagnose and fix problems during the post-installation phase.
About this task
Phase | Solution |
---|---|
Pre-installation | Restart the installation and no additional actions are required |
Installation | Uninstall the License Metric Tool server.
Then, reattempt the installation. For more information, see the following links:
If uninstalling the server in interactive or silent mode does not work, remove the server manually. For more information, see: Removing the server manually. |
Post-installation | Some configuration steps depend on other steps. If a step fails, execution of the dependent steps is also held. However, the installer continues running steps that do not depend on the failed one. If an error occurs during the post-installation phase, you can continue the installation and fix the problem at the end. You can also stop the installation, resolve the problem, and resume the installation. To resume the installation, run the installer again. It detects that the previous configuration attempt failed or was interrupted and resumes in the place where the installation previously stopped. If you exited the installation, run it again. It automatically resumes the post-installation phase. |
Resuming the installation in interactive mode
If you run the installation in interactive mode, you can use the built-in function to diagnose the problem. After you fix the problem, rerun the installer if you closed it before.
Procedure
Resuming the installation in silent mode
If the silent installation fails, review the logs and troubleshoot the problem. Then, run the same command that you use to start the installation. Alternatively, you can resume the installation in interactive mode.
