Interacting with the installvcs program
As you run the program, you are prompted to answer yes or no questions. A set
of responses that resemble [y, n, q, ?] (y) typically follow these questions. The
response within parentheses is the default, which you can select by pressing the
Enter key. Enter the ? character to get help to answer the prompt. Enter q to quit
the installation.
Installation of VCS RPMs takes place only after you have confirmed the
information. However, you must remove the partially installed VCS files before
you run the installvcs program again.
See “About the uninstallvcs program” on page 153.
During the installation, the installer prompts you to type information. The installer
expects your responses to be within a certain range or in a specific format. The
installer provides examples. If you are prompted to enter an item from a list, enter
your selection exactly as it is shown in the list.
The installer also prompts you to answer a series of questions that are related to
a configuration activity. For such questions, you can enter the b character to
return to the first prompt in the series. When the installer displays a set of
information items you have entered, you are prompted to confirm it. If you answer
n, the program lets you reenter all of the information for the set.
You can install the VCS Java Console on a single system, which is not required to
be part of the cluster. Note that the installvcs program does not install the VCS
Java Console.
See “Installing the Java Console” on page 80.
