Install VectorH Using RPM Commands
As an alternative to using the install script, you can install VectorH by invoking RPM directly on the master node.
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 the packages
Invoke RPM with the appropriate installation flags, including the path to the package you want to install, as follows:
rpm ‑Uvh path_to_directory/actian-vectorh-6.0.0....rpm path_to_directory/actian-vectorh-dbms-6.0.0....rpm path_to_directory/actian-vectorh-net-6.0.0....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/VectorH:
rpm ‑Uvh ‑‑prefix=/home/actian/VectorH path_to_directory/actian-vectorh_package.rpm
Notes:
• Only one VectorH instance per machine can be installed when using the RPM command. Other VectorH instances can be installed using the other methods.
• All packages installed in a single instance must have the same value of II_SYSTEM. If you use the prefix flag to install the base package, you must install all subsequent packages with the same –prefix value.
• No RPM packages are required to be installed on the other DataNodes. All required files will be "synced" to the other nodes during the installation process.
• After you have installed VectorH using the RPM command, you must run the service script (see
Configure and Start the Instance), which configures the instance.
Configure and Start the Instance
When installing VectorH using the RPM command, the setup portion of the installation process must be completed by running the service script. The service script configures and starts the instance.
To run the setup programs and start the instance
After the installation has completed, run the service script as follows:
/sbin/service actian-vectorhXX start
where XX is the instance ID.
The instance is configured and started.
To run the setup without starting the instance
After the installation has completed, run the service script as follows:
/sbin/service actian-vectorhXX configure [response file]
The instance is configured but not started.
