#4586 [HHQ-2559] Agent Fails to Start on Certain Linux Distributio

[Hyperic Team]

http://jira.hyperic.com/browse/HHQ-2559
Agent fails to start on certain Linux distributions.

Diagnosis:


The problem manifests itself in the following way:

./hq-agent.sh start

Unable to locate any of the following binaries:


  /usr/local/hyperic-hq-agent-4.0.0/wrapper/sbin/../../wrapper/sbin/wrapper-linux-intel(r)pentium(r)4cpu3.20ghz-32


  /usr/local/hyperic-hq-agent-4.0.0/wrapper/sbin/../../wrapper/sbin/wrapper-linux-intel(r)pentium(r)4cpu3.20ghz-64


  /usr/local/hyperic-hq-agent-4.0.0/wrapper/sbin/../../wrapper/sbin/wrapper

Suggested workaround:


Establish a symbolic link pointing to the appropriate wrapper binary as determined by running the "uname -m" command.


e.g. ln -s /usr/local/hyperic-hq-agent-4.0.0/wrapper/sbin/wrapper-linux-x86-32 "/usr/local/hyperic-hq-agent-4.0.0/wrapper/sbin/wrapper-linux-intel(r)pentium(r)4cpu3.20ghz-32"

Cause:


The problem is caused by the usage of the "uname -p" posix command in the wrapper startup scripts instead of the more accurate "uname -m". The bug fix was suggested but not committed to the 4.0.0. release so as not to destabilize the branch and require regression testing across all hardware platforms.
