Review Pending Tasks and Continue the Installation

You can configure CA CSM to execute Apply Check and Accept Check during base installation and suspend the installation after the checks are completed.

After the installation starts, you review the detailed output of the Apply Check and Accept Check steps. Then, you decide how you want to continue the installation. You can perform one of the following actions:

• If the Apply Check and Accept Check step complete successfully, continue the installation.
• If the Apply Check or Accept Check step fails, review detailed output. Correct the situation that caused the action to fail. Rerun the failed step.
• If the Apply Check or Accept Check step fails and you cannot correct the situation, roll back the installation. Rollback undoes the previous installation action. CA CSM restores the SMP/E environment to the state before the previous installation action started executing. Any output that the pending installation process created is deleted.
