check_vmfs command

[dwhitfield]

Yes.

Also, I doubt there's any point in re-running the check_vmfs.sh until you have vmware-install.pl finishing. I suppose it's possible most of vmware-install.pl gets installed and then check_vmfs.sh goes through, but I doubt it.

[scheema31]

so in my vmware-install.pl there are many lines with
uninstall_file($gInstallerMainDB);
exit 1;
which one exactly would i need to comment out?
im pretty new to linux environment so thanks for your patience
thanks,

[dwhitfield]

My apologies for the confusion. The ones under if ( !( $ftpproxy && $httpproxy)) {

[scheema31]

okay so that made some progress in running ./vmware-install.pl, there is an msg about not being able to install Perl modules on the system manually. how would i go about installing those?
also once installed do i need to recompile anything in nagios? like nagios commands?

CPAN not able to install following Perl modules on the system. These must be

From here:
http://www.cpan.org/modules/INSTALL.html

Install cpanm to make installing other modules easier (you'll thank us later). You need to type these commands into a Terminal emulator (Mac OS X, Win32, Linux)

Code: Select all

cpan App::cpanminus

Now install any module you can find.

Code: Select all

cpanm Module::Name

[scheema31]

sorry im not entirely sure of what to search for here?
Ive run the cpan App::cpanminus command... not sure how to use cpanm Module::Name

thanks!

[Box293]

These are examples.

In your previous output:

CPAN not able to install following Perl modules on the system. These must be
installed manually for use by vSphere CLI:

Crypt::SSLeay 0.55 or newer
Class::MethodMaker 2.10 or newer
UUID 0.03 or newer
XML::LibXML::Common 0.13 or newer
XML::LibXML 1.63 or newer

So you need to install these, for example:

Code: Select all

cpanm Crypt::SSLeay

[scheema31]

oh i see, perfect.
So i got 2/5 installed now, the other three failed
