Install Vector Using a Response File (Linux)
You can use the Vector Installation Wizard on Linux to create a response file.
To create a response file using the Vector Installation Wizard on Linux
1. On the Installation Mode page of the Installation Wizard, select Customize.
2. Select your options for installing Vector, and then click Next until the Ready to Install Vector (preinstallation summary) page is displayed.
The response file is automatically generated.
3. Click View RF to view the response file (see Example Response File on Linux). Copy and paste the contents into a file, and then save it.
Note:  When defining non-default locations for II_DATABASE, II_CHECKPOINT, II_WORK, or II_DUMP, those locations must exist and be writable by the instance owner prior to running the setup programs; otherwise they will fail with: The II_DATABASE location "/my/new/data/loc" does not exist; please create and try again.
To install Vector for Linux using a response file
After the response file is generated, install Vector by following these steps:
1. Set the II_RESPONSE_FILE environment variable to the absolute path and name of the response file.
2. Install the RPM packages by either using the install.sh command or invoking RPM directly.
3. If you invoked RPM directly, run the service script, which automatically uses the value of II_RESPONSE_FILE:
/etc/init.d/actian-vectorXX configure
where XX is the instance ID.
