swinstall, you would look in the file /var/adm/sw/swinstall.log.
Of more interest in case of troubleshooting is to examine target agent logfiles for a current
session. The location of the agent logfile varies, depending on the type of target:
/var/adm/sw/swagent.log when operating on a host's primary root.
/<root_path>/var/adm/sw/swagent.log for an alternate root.
/<depot_path>/swagent.log for a target or source depot.
The default location of a host's daemon logfile is /var/adm/sw/swagentd.log. This logfile
contains information for problems starting agents, particularly for problems where you have
access denied to a depot or root.
Error Messages
SD-UX error messages indicate that a problem occurred that will influence the overall outcome
of an operation.
For example, if a target in an install session fails the analysis phase due to insufficient disk
space, you would find the following error message in the agent log file:
ERROR: The estimated disk space used on filesystem "/" is
14104 Kbyte blocks. This operation will exceed the
minimum free space for this disk. You should free up at
least 2280 Kbyte blocks to avoid installing beyond this
threshold of available user disk space. If you are
running interactive "swinstall", you must return to the
Selection Window and Unmark this target before using
"swremove" to free disk space.
Warning Messages
Warning messages let you know that something unexpected and potentially undesirable
occurred. A warning does not prevent the SD session from continuing. Warning messages during
analysis of an interactive session give you the chance to continue or stop.
For example, if the fileset SD-DATABASE.SD-DATABASE2 is being installed in multiple locations
on a target system, you would find the following warning message in the agent log file:
WARNING: A version of fileset "SD-DATABASE.SD-DATABASE2,r=9.00.1C"
is already installed in another location (see previous
lines). Installing this version will create multiple
installed versions. This new multiple version will be
installed because the "allow_multiple_versions" option is
set to "true".
