Running a pre-check

Unravel provides a utility, run-checks.sh, to make sure your Unravel host meets Unravel's requirements.

  • On your Unravel host, it checks:

    • User, memory, free space, and dependency issues.

    • If you're using Kerberos, it checks for tooling and keytab issues.

    • That the Unravel host is an edge node.

  • On your Hadoop setup, it confirms that the Unravel host is an edge node, and checks for service access issues.

To run this utility, follow the steps below.

  1. Download the Precheck utility.

  2. On the Unravel host, uncompress unravel-precheck-latest-tar.gz.

    tar zxvf unravel-precheck-latest.tar.gz

    Uncompressing the archive results in a directory named unravel-precheck that contains two scripts, edit-configuration.sh and run-checks.sh.

  3. To configure run-checks.sh, run unravel-precheck/edit-configuration.sh. This launches a menu-driven interface for changing various settings.

    ./unravel-precheck/edit-configuration.sh

    Tip

    If you're doing a pre-upgrade check, run edit-configuration.sh to import your settings from unravel.properties.

  4. Run run-checks.sh as root.

    Syntax

  5. Check the results for problems.

    The script outputs the checks/tests ran and their result. Next it lists all missing "general" dependencies and finally missing OnDemand dependencies. The possible test status are:

    • Ok

    • Info: Some information you might want to know.

    • Skipped: A particular test was skipped because:

      • Disabled: The test was manually disabled.

      • Missing configuration: You need to run edit-configuration.sh first.

      • Prerequisite test errored: Some other test didn't run successfully, so this test was skipped.

    • ERROR: The test failed. To see why, look at the detailed report, unravel-precheck/results/YYYYMMDD-HHMISS/report.txt

    Three reports (text files) located in ./unravel-precheck/results/YYYYMMDD-HHMISS/
