Problem with install with partitions

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

because i needed the templates I installed the lotus second time with a different domino data partition. the partition now is deleted. I’m trying to update the Domino 8 to Domino 8.5 on linux. The installer is automaticly giving me the option is partitioned server as yes i change it to no and after that a can choose the number of partitions with is giving me automaticly 2 i change it to 1 and after the user and group settings the installer exits automaticly without any error. I tryed to find out where the partition information is stored but unsuccessfully. i deleted the log in the /tmp directory and also the vpd.profile but still the same error with install script. where can i find the partition information? thanks

Subject: DominoInstall log file

Look for Dominoinstall log file under /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/ or which ever is the program directory of the domino server, you will see all the activities of the installer, there you could locate where the second partition is, all that stuff…

You should also see the dominoinstall log under the temp folder where you have un-tar’ed(un-zipped??) the install files.

Subject: how do the installer knows the partions?

Hi i know where the other partition was. i deleted it. The problem is that i would like to install the server with just one partition but the installer doesn’t work with that option. It always suggesting me to install partitioned server with two partitions but if i choose no partitioned server and just one partition the installer quit without any error. so the question is how the installer knows what partitions i have installed?

i deleted also this DominoInstall.log in the /opt/lotus/ folder but the installer still doesnt work

Subject: look in the .install.dat

This file is located in /opt/ibm/lotus (or whatever your Domino directory is that ends with “lotus”.This is a hidden file: note “.” in front of the name: .install.dat.

You will be looking at “data_directories” entry.

data_directories {

    "/local//85/data1" {

    data_UNIX_gid = 6012

    data_UNIX_group = notes

    data_UNIX_uid = 8533

    data_UNIX_user = notes1

    }

 "/local//85/data2" {

    data_UNIX_gid = 6012

    data_UNIX_group = notes

    data_UNIX_uid = 8533

    data_UNIX_user = notes2

    }

    }

Delete the second (third etc entry.

I will look into why you can’t change it from the UI,

Thanks,
