how to install bootstrap if error says it is already installed ?

[YH CHONG]

Hi,

I run the the command with an exit code =1 . Similar error if I were to run it from ACS :

===> QSH CMD('touch -C 819 /tmp/bootstrap.log; /QOpenSys/usr/bin/ksh /tmp/boots
trap.sh --new> /tmp/bootstrap.log 2>&1')

Log file :

Beginning of data**
tmp/bootstrap.sh: 0403-065 An incomplete or invalid multibyte character encountered.

his system has already been bootstrapped!

ootstrapping is a one-time process and should never need to be done again.
oing so would cause the installation status of everything installed via yum
o become unknown and any software in the bootstrap will overwrite any newer
ersions that may have been installed.

f you want to continue anyway, you can re-run bootstrap.sh with the flag
-yes-this-is-unsupported-but-i-know-what-i-am-doing

---

What is the ‘flag’ mentioned at the bottom of the log ?

At the moment, there is no such directory found in IFS : /QOpenSys/pkgs

Tks

You can run /QOpenSys/usr/bin/ksh /tmp/bootstrap.sh --yes-this-is-unsupported-but-i-know-what-i-am-doing from a command terminal (eg SSH, QP2TERM, QSH)

tmp/bootstrap.sh: 0403-065 An incomplete or invalid multibyte character encountered.

I suspect based on the message, I suspect that your bootstrap.sh has not downloaded properly, however. I would recommend redownloading this from https://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/ibmi/products/pase/rpms/bootstrap.sh before re-running the bootstrap. Make sure to transfer in binary.
