Check for System Compliance

The uxpreinstall utility verifies that a UNIX computer complies with UNAB system requirements. We strongly recommend that you use uxpreinstall to check for system compliance, and that you resolve any errors or conflicts that the utility identifies, before you start and activate UNAB. Resolving these errors helps prevent UNAB operational problems.

Important! The uxpreinstall utility informs you of real or potential problems but does not correct them. You cannot use the utility to configure the operating system or UNAB.

You can use uxpreinstall before or after you install UNAB. uxpreinstall does not modify the endpoint or the UNAB installation, but diagnoses possible problems and suggests solutions for the problems. Any problems that uxpreinstall identifies are problems on the endpoint, not problems with uxpreinstall.

Note: To run uxpreinstall before you install UNAB, copy the utility from another endpoint on which UNAB is installed. For more information about the uxpreinstall utility, see the Reference Guide.

To check for system compliance

1. Log in to the UNIX computer as a superuser.
2. Run uxpreinstall with a verbosity level of 0.

   uxpreinstall runs and displays a summary of the checks it performs and any errors or conflicts it identifies.

3. If uxpreinstall identifies any errors or conflicts, run uxpreinstall again with a verbosity level of 2 or higher.

   uxpreinstall displays more information about the errors and conflicts that it identifies.

4. Resolve the errors and conflicts.
5. Repeat Steps 2-4 until uxpreinstall does not identify any errors or conflicts.

   When the uxpreinstall output does not display any errors or conflicts, the computer complies with UNAB requirements. You can now start and activate UNAB.

Example: Run the uxpreinstall Utility

This example runs the uxpreinstall utility with the credentials of the administrator user against the Active Directory domain domain.com with a verbosity level of 3:

./uxpreinstall -a administrator -w admin -d domain.com -v 3
