1.9 Installation Options

Options for install are listed below:

-m{mail_addr}

Specifies an address to mail critical mvEnterprise

 

error and warning messages, where mail_addr is

 

defined in the form system-name\!path-name.

 

Using the -moption without specifying an address

 

suppresses sending mail. The install default is to

 

send mail.

-t{term_node}

Specifies the terminal on which to display

 

mvEnterprise error and warning messages, where

 

term_node is a terminal defined in /dev. The install

 

default is the system console (/dev/console).

-o

Specifies removing and recreating common1 from

 

information in the file config. If config does not

 

exist, install prompts for terminals, Phantoms,

 

memory pages, and data names to use. Never use the

 

-ooption if there are active users on the

 

mvEnterprise machine.

-i

Use this option when creating a DB file on AIX.

 

Initializes a new database by physically writing

 

zeros from frame 1 to MAXFID. When multiple

 

databases are defined in the config file, a

 

background process is forked in parallel for each

 

DB.

-w

Specifies not to fork background processes when

 

initializing a database. This causes the database files

 

to be initialized serially, one at a time.
