Install Vector Using RPM Commands
You can install Vector by invoking RPM directly.
Vector packages that can be installed include the following:
• Core--Prerequisite of all other packages
• DBMS--DBMS Server
• NET--Communications servers
• Director--Actian Director
To install a single package
Invoke RPM with the appropriate installation flags, including the path of the package you want to install, as follows:
rpm ‑Uvh path_to_directory/Vector_package.rpm
To install more than one package at a time
Pass multiple file names, specifying the path to each package, as follows:
rpm ‑Uvh path_to_directory/Vector_package.rpm path_to_directory/Vector_package2.rpm path_to_directory/Vector_package3.rpm
To install all packages in the same directory
Specify the following:
rpm ‑Uvh path_to_directory/*.rpm
To install a package into a non-default location (that is, with an II_SYSTEM value other than the default)
Use the -‑prefix flag when invoking RPM. The following command installs the specified package with II_SYSTEM=/home/actian/VectorVZ:
rpm ‑Uvh ‑‑prefix=/home/actian/VectorVZ path_to_directory/Vector_package.rpm
Notes:
• The default instance ID is VW regardless of the installation directory. To change the instance ID, see Rebuild RPM Package with Unique Name in the Ingres Installation Guide.
• All packages installed in a single instance must have the same value of II_SYSTEM. So if you use the -‑prefix flag to install the base package, you must install all subsequent packages with the same --prefix value.
• After you have installed Vector using the RPM command, you must run the service script to configure the instance.
