(Optional) Delete Install Directory and Move Bin, Lib, Utility Directories (UNIX)
Note:  This step is optional but recommended.
The Ingres installation procedure on UNIX starts by extracting the install subdirectory from the Ingres distribution.
You should delete the old contents of that directory first, as follows:
cd $II_SYSTEM/ingres
rm –rf install
In addition, move and rename the following directories:
cd $II_SYSTEM/ingres
mv bin oldbin
mv lib oldlib
mv utility oldutility
After the upgrade succeeds and it has been verified that there were no user altered or added files in bin, lib, and utility, you can delete the moved directories:
cd $II_SYSTEM/ingres
rm -rf oldbin oldlib oldutility
