Run VMSINSTAL
To run the installer, issue the following command from any privileged account that is defined as holding the privileges needed to run Ingres:
@sys$update:vmsinstal * distribution_medium
By default, the SYS$ROOT area is used by VMSINSTAL to unpack the savesets in preparation for installing Ingres. If there is insufficient space available, then VMSINSTAL will fail. To specify an alternate working directory, you can use the awd parameter, as follows:
@sys$update:vmsinstal * <distribution_medium> options awd=device:[dir]
To log the installation process specify the option L when calling VMSINSTAL:
@sys$update:vmsinstal * <distribution_medium> options L
