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
