Delaying the Return of the CLI Prompt

Tip When activating and deactivating packages, use the test option to test the effects of a command without
impacting the running system. After the activation or deactivation process completes, enter the show
install log command to display the process results.
Delaying the Return of the CLI Prompt
By default, the CLI prompt is returned to the screen before the installation operation is complete, which allows
you to enter other commands that are not installation commands. If additional installation requests are attempted
before the first operation is complete, they are not run.
To delay the return of the CLI prompt until an installation operation is complete, enter the install command
with the synchronous keyword. For example:
install add disk1:pie-file synchronous
install activate disk0:package synchronous
To determine if an install command is currently running, enter the show install request command.

Displaying Installation Log Information

The install log provides information on the history of the installation operations. Each time an installation
operation is run, a number is assigned to that operation.
• Use the show install log command to display information about both successful and failed installation
• The show install log command with no arguments displays a summary of all installation operations.
• Use the detail or verbose keywords to display detailed information, including file changes, nodes
Tip By default, the install log stores up to 50 entries. Use the clear install log-history command to reset the
number of entries to any value from 0 to 255.
