Multi-Disk Install Steps for Unicenter NSM r11 Ingres Last Revision: May 15, 2006
Objectives Separate DB and program files to different locations during install NSM install process (including nsmsetup.rsp) does not allow Ingres files to be placed in different locations – this requires relocation of db files after the install (which requires advanced Ingres skills!) Install Ingres and create MDB using silent install Review MDB “care and feeding” presentation (documents how to relocate database files) This presentation focuses on how to split Ingres Data files onto different disks during install - eliminating need to relocate after
Steps Identify location of Ingres files on NSM media Copy sample.rsp to different location (where it can be updated) Update sample.rsp to change the location of db files Run silent install During NSM install, select Ingres Configuration option for NSM process, to lock down MDB
