Delphix Toolkits (dxToolkit and dxmToolkit)

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble running the dxtoolkit command on my Linux machine. I followed these steps:

1. I checked the current working directory.
2. I created a directory called delphix.
3. I changed to the delphix directory.
4. I used the wget command to download the dxtoolkit2-v2.4.20-redhat8-installer.tar.gz file from GitHub.
5. I used the gunzip command to unzip the file.
6. I used the tar command to extract the files from the archive.
7. I changed to the dxtoolkit2 directory.
8. I used the ls command to list the contents of the directory.
9. I used the sh command to run the install.sh script.
10. I created a file called dxtools.conf and modified the following entry:
    {

    "data":[
        {
            "hostname" : "xxxxx.xxx.com",
            "ip_address" : "xxx.1xx.xxx.xxx",
            "username" : "username",
            "password" : "pwd",
            "port" : "80",
            "default" : "false",
            "encrypted" : "false",
            "timeout" : "60"
        }
    ]
}

11. I ran the following command:

./dx_get_appliance -all

Actual Output: Command did not return any output. DX Toolkit is installed and that the source_dir setting in the dxtools.conf file is correct.

I hope this is more clear. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hello,

If you run the command with the "--debug" argument, does it give you more information on the failure? Can you post the output of running with that flag?

Thanks,

Neal

Hi Neal,

To follow up on our conversation about the debugging issue. I've attached the output from the -debug command, which I ran on the Linux machine.

I followed the same steps on my Windows machine, and the command worked as expected. However, I'm not getting the same results on the Linux machine.

Can you please take a look at the output and let me know if you have any ideas?
