Check the NBA Installation

After the reboot has completed, you must check the installation. To do this, use the checking script included in the rpm package. The purpose of this check is to ensure that the basic installation steps have completed successfully. It is not an exhaustive test of the system.

To check the installation

  1. Execute the following command from an NBA CPU-X root login: 
    ta] CPU-X:~ # installcheck

    On Bivio 2000 appliances, this generates output similar to this:

    ======================================================================
=            Installation Checker  Version 12.0.2337.0  
======================================================================

OS = 3.2.5.9 (Build 200803051300) (OEM Zero Copy Runtime System)    OK
NBA version = 12.0.2337.0                                           OK
NBA product branding                                                OK
Ethernet port failover                                              OK
NBA services                                                        OK
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall result of all installation checks (All passed)              OK
----------------------------------------------------------------------

    On Bivio 7000 appliances, this generates output similar to this:

    ======================================================================
=           NBA Installation Checker    Version 12.5.2525.0 ======================================================================

OS = 5.0.7-2 (Build 201004271337)                                    OK
NBA version = 12.5.2525.0                                            OK
NBA product branding                                                 OK
Ethernet port failover                                               OK
NBA services                                                         OK
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall result of all installation checks (All passed)               OK
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  2. Manually check that the reported ‘NBA version’ is the required one.
  3. If you see any Error results in the above check, wait briefly then run the check again.

    Such errors are caused by a delay in some components starting after a reboot. If the error is still reported after five minutes, there is a problem with the installation.
