install.sh Command--Install VectorH

The install.sh command installs all Vector packages and runs the setup. It can be used for both interactive and unattended installs and installs RPM or ingbuild distributions.

install.sh [-respfile filename] [‑acceptlicense] [-express] [-interactive]

[-uid uid] [-user username] [-noroot] [-usesudo] [‑masteronly]

Uses filename as the response file when running setup. A response file lets you customize the installation. For more information, see Installing VectorH Using a Response File.

Accepts all license prompts. No user prompting occurs.

Installs with no user prompts (implies -accepticense.)

Installs interactively, prompting for all configuration options. (For advanced users only.)

Specifies the user ID (UID) to be used when creating user. The username must exist. (Disallowed with -noroot.)

Installs as username instead of actian. The username must exist. (Disallowed with -noroot.)

Note: Valid only when using the ingbuild distribution.

Installs VectorH as the current user. All installation locations, both local and HDFS, must exist and be writable as current user for the installation to succeed. Instance will be owned by current user.

Note: Cluster topology may not be visible as current user, so the slaves file may not be generated. In that case, a default slaves file is created containing only the Master node.

Note: Valid only when using the ingbuild distribution.

Installs Vector in Hadoop using the current user and invokes sudo for root access, locally and remotely. The instance is owned as "actian" by default. If required, the current user is used for remote connections and sudo is invoked for root access.

Sets up master node only; no slave nodes are set up. (No remote connections attempted.)

Defines a two-character string where the first character must be an uppercase letter and the second character must be an uppercase letter or a number from 0 to 9.

Specifies the full path to the location where Vector is to be installed (II_SYSTEM).

Note: Not valid for DEBs, in which case II_SYSTEM is hard coded to: /opt/Actian/Vector.

1. install.sh will fail if another instance of VectorH exists with the same instance ID as the one being installed.

2. When the installer prompts: “Enter the HDFS location to be used by Vector in Hadoop [/Actian/VectorVH]:”, enter a location in HDFS, not in the local file system (or accept the default). This will be the HDFS data location (stored in environment variable II_HDFSDATA).

3. If logged in as a user other than “actian”, after install.sh completes, do the following:

b. Log on as the “actian” system user and source .ingXXsh (where XX is the instance ID), which is found in the home directory ($HOME) of the “actian” system user.

1. Install VectorH with the default configuration, prompting for basic configuration options:

2. Install VectorH, prompting for all configuration options:

3. Install VectorH with an instance ID of V1, using sudo for root access:

4. Install VectorH as the current user, without root privilege under /home/actian/VectorVH:

5. Install VectorH with the default configuration into "/opt/VectorV2", with an instance ID of V2, without further prompting:

Note: Not valid for DEBs, whose II_SYSTEM cannot be changed.

6. Install VectorH with the default configuration without further prompting, and include the Demo and Actian Director:
