information. However, you must remove the partially installed VCS files before
you run the installvcs program again.

Duringthe 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
installerprovides 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 bcharacter to
return to the first prompt in the series. When the installer displays a set of
informationitems 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.
