Tech Tip: CA Privileged Identity Manager - Generate Diagnostic Information about a UNIX/LINUX Endpoint

  • 1.  Tech Tip: CA Privileged Identity Manager - Generate Diagnostic Information about a UNIX/LINUX Endpoint

    Posted Aug 25, 2015 04:08 AM

    SUMMARY:

    To generate diagnostic information about a UNIX/LINUX endpoint, the CA Privileged Identity Manager "support.sh" utility collects information to help CA Support.

    If you include the CA Privileged Identity Manager database in the snapshot, the Support utility stops the product before it snapshots the database and restarts the product when the snapshot is complete.

     

    SOLUTION:

    .For instance, on UNIX (Solaris):
