Create an Installation (installationCreate)

The installationCreate command defines a TimesTen installation in the model.

ttGridAdmin installationCreate hostname[.installname]
                               -location path
                               [-source where]
                               [-comment comment]

Options

The installationCreate command has the options:

Option Description

hostname[.installname]

The hostname is the name of the host where the installation is to be created, optionally with a specified installname for the name of the installation in the model. The default is installation1.

-location path

Path, on the specified host, to the directory where the installation is to be created. The specified directory does not have to exist, but if it exists it must be empty.

-source where

Location that the installation will be copied from. The location does not have to be on a system that is part of the grid. You can specify it in any of the following formats, as applicable:

/path
address:/path
address!/path
[address]:/path

If path is a directory, it must be the top-level tt22.1.1.21.0 directory of an existing TimesTen installation. If it is a file, it must be a .zip file that expands into a TimesTen installation. The address is a DNS name or IP address.

If address is specified, passwordless SSH is used to fetch the installation source from the system with that address. You must use the fourth format if there is a colon in the address itself, such as for IPv6 addresses.

The default is the location of the installation associated with the active management instance, from which ttGridAdmin is run.

Also see Address Formats.

-comment comment

Associates a comment with the installation object. Put the comment in quotes if there are any spaces. The comment is stored and included in output of the installationList command.

Examples

Create an installation for host mysys4host, using the default source location. (This example was run from mysys1.)

% ttGridAdmin installationCreate mysys4host.installcreate 
-location /sw/tten/grid/ttinstls/installcreate
Installation installcreate on Host mysys4host created in Model

This time, specify a source location:

% ttGridAdmin installationCreate mysys4host.installcreate2
-location /sw/tten/grid/ttinstls/installcreate2 -source 
mysys1:/sw/tten/grid/ttinstls/myinstl/tt22.1.1.21.0
Installation installcreate2 on Host mysys4host created in Model

Notes

  • This command does not create a physical installation. It defines an installation object in the model. (The modelApply command creates the installation.)

  • Multiple installation objects for the same TimesTen release can point to the same physical installation; however, you cannot specify the same location on the same host for installations from different releases.
