Verify command paths

Verify the command paths that will be used by the Data Collector.

Both Linux & Windows:

  • If Veritas Volume Manager is installed on any hosts, note the path to the vxprint command.

  • If any multi-pathing software is installed on hosts, note the path to the command.

Linux: Verify the non-interactive SSH path for Linux users for several sample hosts:

ssh <user>@<hostname> env

where <user> is the credential the collector will use to access the host.

To determine the Linux path from a Windows server, you can use a command-line interface to telnet/ssh client software. The following example shows Plink, which is a command-line interface to PuTTY (a telnet/ssh client):

To determine the Linux path from a Windows server, you can use a command-line interface to ssh client software. The following example shows Plink, which is a command-line interface to PuTTY (a ssh client):

plink <user>@<hostname> env

Example of a PATH for commands:

/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin

Windows: Make a note of the paths for the executables identified for HBA data collection. Note that in Windows, multiple paths are separated by a semi-colon ( ; ). For example:

C:\Program Files\Emulex\Util\HBAnyware;C:\Program Files\QLogic\SANSurfer
