E.1 Oracle Autonomous Health Framework Installation Command-Line Options

Understand the options that you can supply to the Oracle Autonomous Health Framework installer script to customize the installation.

The Oracle Autonomous Health Framework installer script:

  • Takes you through an interview process if you do not specify any installation parameters.
  • Appends /oracle.ahf to -ahf_loc if it does not already exist.
  • Appends /oracle.ahf/data to -data_dir if it does not already exist.
  • Writes the log to the /tmp/ahf_install_timestamp.log file, for example, /tmp/ahf_install_9263_2018_09_25-07_55_52.log.

Syntax

ahf_setup 
[-ahf_loc AHF Location]
[-data_dir AHF Repository]
[-nodes node1,node2]
[-extract[orachk|exachk|-notfasetup]]
[-force]
[-local]
[-silent]
[-tmp_loc directory]
[-debug [-level 1-6]]

Parameters

Table E-1 ahf_setup Command Parameters

Parameter Description

-ahf_loc

Specify the installation directory. Ensure that this directory exists before trying this option.

-data_dir

Specify the data directory where Oracle Autonomous Health Framework stores all the collections, metadata, and so on. Ensure that this directory exists before trying this option.

-nodes

By default, Oracle Autonomous Health Framework is installed on all the cluster nodes. Specify a comma-delimited list of nodes where you want to install AHF.

-extract

Extracts the files from the installer. This option is default for non-root users.

Specify the -notfasetup option just to extract and not to configure Oracle Trace File Analyzer.

Run the ahf_setup -extract [exachk|orachk] command to install a local copy of Oracle ORAchk or Oracle EXAchk without installing the rest of AHF.

-force

The -force option is applicable only when you specify the compliance type orachk or exachk with the -extract option else the installer script ignores the -force option.
-extract orachk|exachk

-local

Installs only on the local node.

-silent

Use this option for the Oracle Autonomous Health Framework installer script not to prompt any installation questions.

If you use -silent option, then ensure that you use -data_dir option. The installer script fails if you do not use -data_dir option.

-tmp_loc

Specify a temporary ___location for the Oracle Autonomous Health Framework installer script to extract the install archive. Ensure that this directory exists before trying this option.

Default: /tmp.

-perlhome

Specify a custom ___location for Perl binaries.

-debug

Debugs the Oracle Autonomous Health Framework installer script.

-level

Specify the Oracle Autonomous Health Framework Install debug level. Default 4 with option -debug.

  • 1 - FATAL
  • 2 - ERROR
  • 3 - WARNING
  • 4 - INFO
  • 5 - DEBUG
  • 6 - TRACE

Understanding the Location of the Data Directory

  • If you install Oracle Autonomous Health Framework using the -data_dir option, then the installer script uses the ___location that you specify. The installer script will not create the specified data directory so ensure that this directory exists before trying the -data_dir option. You can specify a new data directory either under the current Oracle Trace File Analyzer install ___location or under a different directory.
  • If you install Oracle Autonomous Health Framework using the -silent option, then ensure that you use the -data_dir option, otherwise, the installer script will fail.
  • If you install Oracle Autonomous Health Framework without the -data_dir option, then the installer script will list all possible options:
    • Oracle Autonomous Health Framework installation ___location (-ahf_loc) if the free space is more than 5 GB
    • Oracle Trace File Analyzer repository if installed outside the Oracle Grid Infrastructure Home
    • Directory one level above the Oracle Grid Infrastructure Base
    • Option to enter a different directory
  • If you do not use the -silent option and do not specify –ahf_loc and –data_dir, then the installer script displays the default options for you to confirm.

    For example:
    # /tmp/ahf_setup -nodes node1
