VSP-MEMORY
PROVISIONING FAILURES
WINDOWS – AUTO-INSTRUMENTATION ENABLED
Symptom: Auto-instrumentation is enabled and provisioning fails
Recommended Actions:
-
Ensure that an entry for the application that is being provisioned does not exist in the registry path: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options
-
If it exists, VSP-Memory does not overwrite any existing entry (to prevent breaking any existing functionality)
-
Remove the registry key if possible and re-provision the application
-
If the key cannot be removed, uncheck the auto-instrumentation option in CMS and re-provision the application. After the application is provisioned, instrument the application manually
-
LINUX – AUTO-INSTRUMENTATION ENABLED
Symptom: Auto-instrumentation is enabled and provisioning fails
Recommended Actions:
-
Refer the VSP-memory-assist logs for information on where the issue occurred
-
If this application has been auto-instrumented previously, check the application path to see if existing VSP-memory auto-instrumentation binaries exist
-
VSP-memory auto-instruments applications by renaming the original application with a "-virsec" appendage. A special VSP-memory auto-instrumentation binary is copied to the application path. When the application is started, the VSP-memory auto-instrumentation binary calls the real application with the “-virsec” appendage
-
If provisioning fails after auto-instrumentation, rename the "-virsec" or "-virsec.backup" version of the application back the original name. Remove any remaining "-virsec*" binaries
-
AUTO-INSTRUMENTATION DISABLED
Symptom: Auto-instrumentation is disabled and provisioning fails
Recommended Actions:
-
Ensure the application path provided in CMS exists
-
Refer the VSP-memory-assist logs for more information
