Troubleshooting
Problem
There have been cases where GIM installation gives this message:-=
Ifconfig is obsolete! For replacement check ip.
Symptom
For example consider the following installation attempt :-
$ /tmp/xxxx/xxxxx/guard-bundle-GIM-10.1.4_r103106_v10_1_4_1-rhel-6-linux-x86_64.gim.sh -- --dir /usr/local/guardium --sqlguardip xx.x.xx.xxx --tapip xx.x.xx.xxx --perl /usr/bin -q Verifying archive integrity... All good. Uncompressing Guard BUNDLE-GIM Installer.... Ifconfig uses the ioctl access method to get the full address information, which limits hardware addresses to 8 bytes. Because Infiniband address has 20 bytes, only the first 8 bytes are displayed correctly. Ifconfig is obsolete! For replacement check ip. Ifconfig uses the ioctl access method to get the full address information, which limits hardware addresses to 8 bytes. Because Infiniband address has 20 bytes, only the first 8 bytes are displayed correctly. Ifconfig is obsolete! For replacement check ip.

GIM installation directory not found : /usr/local/guardium/modules
Cause
In fact the initial message :-
"Ifconfig is obsolete! For replacement check ip."
is not a problem and is an INFO message only.
The above example shows that GIM failed to install in any case with :-
GIM installation directory not found : /usr/local/guardium/modules
