Installing Vector Using a Response File
Response File--Define Configuration for the Installation
A response file contains parameters that define how an instance is to be installed and configured. You can use any name for the response file.
Each entry in the response file must be on a separate line and in the following form:
variable=value
where variable is a response file parameter name.
Install Vector Using a Response File (Linux)
To install Vector using install.sh
Install Vector by invoking install.sh using the ‑respfile flag to pass the full path to the response file:
./install.sh -respfile /full/path/to/resp.txt
To install Vector using RPM directly
After the response file is created, 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 invoking RPM.
3. 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.
