Keep in mind the following information when you install Identity Manager by using the integrated installer:
Configuration fails if the hosts file contains 127.0.0.2 entry
Tree name is auto generated when the tree name already exists
Integrated installer might hang during the Identity Manager uninstallation on Windows
Windows runtime distribution installation might force a reboot because of an install failure

Installation issues
Linux/Solaris: /var/opt/novell/idm/install/logs/
Windows: The default location is C:\novell\IdentityManager\install\logs\. You can change the location of the log files based on the install location you specify.
For example,
"/home/siva/build/products/Reporting/IDMReport.bin" -DIA_USER_JRE_HOME="/opt/nov ell/idm/jre" -i silent -f "/tmp/idmreporting_configure.properties" execute command exitValue = 1 log file location :/tmp/idmreporting_configure.properties log file location :/opt/novell/idm/rbpm/IDMReporting//RPT_Install.log
The above snippet from the ii_install.log file indicates that the command has failed, because the exitValue is 1 (non-zero). For further analysis, refer to the /opt/novell/idm/rbpm/IDMReporting/RPT_Install.log as displayed in the command.
Passing mandatory parameters during configuration
Some of the inputs are not proper. They are highlighted in Red.
The port number is already in use.
The passed DNS hostname is invalid.
The DN format is incorrect.
Use a different port number if the port is already in use.
Specify a valid DNS name or specify a valid IP address if you don’t want to specify a DNS name.
Verify that a valid DN is specified in LDAP format.
Configuration fails if the hosts file contains 127.0.0.2 entry
Edit the /etc/hosts file if the hosts file has an entry with the 127.0.0.2 loopback address.
For example, 127.0.0.2 hostname. Comment it and make sure that the real IP address entry is in the file.
