Run the following commands to resynchronize the
vars.ini file across all managed systems:
# cd /opt/hptc/nagios/libexec
# ./check_nagios_vars --update
Nagios “Management Settings Monitor” service reports
vars warning
Remove the nagios_vars.db file:
# rm /opt/hptc/nagios/etc/nagios_vars.db

Under very rare circumstances, the Nagios cache might
become unsynchronized. If this occurs, it is possible that
some of the Nagios services will not operate correctly.

This section contains troubleshooting topics that apply to OS installations on managed systems
and capturing and deploying Linux images:
• “RHEL and SLES installations” (page 241)
• “Custom OS installations” (page 243)
• “Capturing Linux images” (page 244)
• “Deploying Linux images” (page 244)

The following table describes possible causes of problems with OS installation tasks and provides
actions to correct them.
Corrective actionsCause/Symptom

hardware architecture.
The selected OS is incompatible with the server
hardware.
Verify that an appropriate PSP exists in the Insight Control
for Linux repository and that it is associated with the
correct OS versions.

in the Insight Control for Linux repository.
Correct the kernel append line and rerun the tool.The optional kernel append line syntax was incorrect.
Verify that the OS exists in the Insight Control for Linux
repository.
The selected OS has been deleted from the Insight
Control for Linux repository.
Perform the following:
• Copy the proper OS files into the appropriate /opt/
repository subdirectories.
• Verify that the correct subdirectories were created in
the appropriate /opt/repository subdirectory, if
required (SLES only, CD1, CD2, DVD, and so on).
