Specifying systems for installation   

The installer prompts for the system names on which you want to install and then performs an initial system check.

 To specify system names for installation

1. Enter the names of the systems where you want to install VCS.

Enter the system names separated by spaces on which to install 
VCS: north south
 
  For a single node installation, enter one name for the system.

  See Starting the installer for the single node cluster

2. Review the output as the installer verifies the systems you specify.

   The installer does the following:

   • Checks that the local node running the installer can communicate with remote nodes

     If the installer finds ssh binaries, it confirms that ssh can operate without requests for passwords or passphrases.

   • Makes sure the systems use the proper operating system
   • Checks whether a previous version of VCS is installed

     If a previous version of VCS is installed, the installer provides an option to upgrade to VCS 5.0.
