Considerations When Installing Ingres on OpenVMS
For full instructions on installing Ingres on OpenVMS, see the Installation Guide. The installation process has not changed significantly from Ingres II 2.0.
Ingres uses the VMSINSTAL procedure to install and configure its software. Using VMS, it is possible to create the new Ingres system administrator account, extract the software required, and configure Ingres. However, depending on how the installation progresses, some issues may develop.
You can install Ingres either directly from the CD-ROM or from a working area on the target system. If the files are transferred to the target node through FTP, they must be moved across in binary mode.
