installOption - generic installer for unbundled products
installOption [-f file] [-n] [-l]
This shell script installs the contents of a Tornado BSP or optional product tape (for example, mv167, VxVMI, VxMP) into an existing Tornado directory tree. This script issues the required commands to read files from the tape and add them to the Tornado archive(s). The old archive contents are backed up prior to adding the new files. This back-up is done only once; consecutive installations will not back up the archive(s).
- -f file
- Use file as the tape device. If -f is not present, use the default device.
- -n
- Show what would be done if installOption were run without -n, but do not actually run it.
- -l
- Summarize the contents of the tape; no installation is performed.
To install a BSP or an optional product:
- 1.
- Place the BSP or optional product tape in an appropriate tape device (see below).
- 2.
- Change directories so that the root directory of the Tornado directory tree (for example, /usr/wind) is the current working directory.
- 3.
- Invoke this script by typing:
% ./host/<host>/bin/installOptionwhere host is the name of the UNIX host type plus the name of the operating system running on the host (for example, "sun4-sunos4"). See the above section for option flags.The GNU ToolKit for the target CPU architecture(s) must already be installed before this script is run, because the appropriate archiver must be used to update the Tornado library.
This script reads the BSP or optional product tape twice. You must use a rewinding tape device.
