Fujitsu Serverview on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS

SandMan874 · 11-09-2017, 02:13 PM

Hello,

I've been installing a new Ubuntu Server 16.04.3 LTS, and as the final step, I'm now working on installing the Serverview software from Fujitsu.

I'm using the debian packages found here:

ftp://ftp.ts.fujitsu.com/community-l...ntu-lts/16.04/

Which should be compatible with Ubuntu 16.04.

However, when I try to check the status, I get the following:

Code:

sandman@Pegasus:~$ srvmagt status
/usr/sbin/srvmagt: 16: /etc/srvmagt/functions: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

According to my limited coding abilities, there is a syntax error on line 16 of the functions file. Both files are attached to this post.

Is there anyone with better coding abilities than me who can spot any obvious errors here?

Thanks

I think

function toUpper() {

should be changed to

function toUpper () {

Thanks for the suggestion Keruskerfuerst, but that wasn't it. Even though I haven't gotten so much response here, I thought I would update the thread with what I did figure out.

The problem with the syntax error was caused by an "incorrect" shebang at the beginning of the file:

Code:

sandman@Pegasus:~/serverview_agents_install$ srvmagt
/usr/sbin/srvmagt: 16: /etc/srvmagt/functions: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

This was caused by /usr/sbin/srvmagt being written for bash, but the shebang specifies #!/bin/sh. In newer versions of Ubuntu, this shebang calls a dash shell, not bash. Changing this line to #!/bin/bash allows the script to run without the syntax error.

But running the script with the command

Code:

sudo srvmagt

still caused a lot of errors:

Code:

sandman@Pegasus:~/serverview_agents_install$ sudo srvmagt

More of the same.......

However, RPM can be installed in Ubuntu using apt-get, so that was the next step. After installing RPM, I want to run the command

Code:

sudo srvmagt install

to install the missing components of the Serverview Agent. But this will not work:

Code:

sandman@Pegasus:~/serverview_agents_install$ sudo srvmagt install

There is probably no matching kernel source for kernel version 4.4.0-98-generic installed. For details see /var/log/messages.

So that is a s far as I have gotten, and I would very much appreciate any help moving forward from here.
