You can extract HCL
OneDB™ product
files from the installation media for script-based redistribution
to other computers.
Before you begin
Complete the following prerequisite tasks:
About this task
During this procedure you run the installation application to extract the installation
media files, and then you redistribute the database server and client products on other computers.
You can use this approach in a deployment scenario or for an embedded software solution where you
want to save time and reduce the amount of required disk space. Restriction: Do not
start the database server if problems occur during the installation or you can cause further
installation problems.
Procedure
To install the database server with a script:
- Run the ids_install installation command.
- When you are prompted to select an option for your installation
goals, select Extract the product files (-DLEGACY option).
-
Follow the instructions in the installation application.
- While logged
in as the root user, manually install the Global Security Kit
by running the installgskit from the $INFORMIXDIR/gskit directory.
- Copy the contents of the installation directory and place
them into the directory of another computer where you want to redistribute
the products.
The contents include the RUNasroot scripts
that you use for redistribution.
- Run the following script to complete the redistribution
of the database server files:
RUNasroot.installserver
- Run the onsecurity utility to verify
that the path where the product was redistributed is secure.
Results
Log files are created during the installation process. You can use the
log files to troubleshoot installation errors.
What to do next
Complete any applicable postinstallation tasks, including initiating disk space when you
start the server for the first time.
