Installing Ingres on OpenVMS
How You Install and Configure Ingres (First Time Installers)
Environment Prerequisites:
• The device where Ingres will be installed and the device used by sys$update:vmsinstal for temporary files must both be ODS-5 volumes.
• The process for installing Ingres must be using EXTENDED parse style (set process/parse_style=extended)
The process for installing and configuring Ingres for OpenVMS for the first time on a node is as follows:
This step copies the contents of the distribution onto your system in the correct locations with the correct permissions. If using the Express Install, it also automatically sets required configuration parameters for installed components to default values.
3. Run the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) setup programs (see
Run the Setup Programs) (Standard Install only).
This step sets required configuration parameters for installed components.
Note: For a cluster installation, run the setup programs on the first node. After completing the install you can start Ingres to test your installation. When satisfied with the results, you should shut down the installation, and run the iisunode.com setup script on the other nodes of the cluster installation.
This step starts Ingres on your system so the system administrator can access it.
5. Customize your installation.
This step sets optional configuration parameters to allow Ingres to run as desired.
6. Prepare Ingres for general use.
In this step, you perform additional tasks needed to prepare Ingres for its users, such as creating an automatic boot command, authorizing users, and creating databases.
