Verifying Cloud Platform Manager installation

You can verify that Platform Manager was installed successfully by using the following procedures.

To review installation log files

1. If you just completed the installation and the installer prompts you to view the installation log, perform the following steps:
   1. Click View Log.
   2. Check the log file for SEVERE errors and import failures.
   3. Skip to step 4.
2. Log on to the server that hosts Platform Manager.
3. Navigate to each directory listed in the following table and check the specified log files for the errors described in the Action column.
   Within the path names specified in the table:
   • On Microsoft Windows, <installPath> is C:\Program Files\BMC Software\BMCCloudLifeCycleManagement.
   • On Linux, <installPath> is /opt/bmc/BMCCloudLifeCycleManagement.

If no error messages were reported, the installation was successful and you can skip the rest of the verification procedures for BMC ProactiveNet Central Server.
