Resource Checking

The SDX software has provisions to check for adequate system resources before and after installation.

Before and After Installation

You can use the verifyInst command to check the current installation against the following SDX hardware and software requirements:

Disk space for software operation	Platform
Host OS release version	Processor
Memory	Swap

The verifyInst command is located in the /tools directory on the software CD. You can issue the command directly from the CD. If you want to install a local copy on a host, you must copy the complete /tools directory to the host.

You can issue the command with no arguments to check all currently installed components or you can specify one or more packages to restrict the check to those components. For example, the following syntax checks the UMColdap and UMColdapa packages:

verifyInst UMColdap UMColdapa

The disk space check assumes the default installation directory (/opt/UMC) has been used. If you installed the SDX software into a different directory, you must use the -l option to specify the directory:

verifyInst -l /base/SDX

The default hardware and software requirements are specified in the /tools/criteria.cfg file. You can specify a different file as long as that file is constructed using the same syntax as criteria.cfg:

verifyInst -f my.cfg
