Caché Installation
3.2.1 Transfer Files from the Distribution Media
Transfer the Caché installation files from the distribution media either to a work directory (recommended)
or to the target directory. Use the OpenVMS backup command to copy the distribution files
to the work directory. Examples for each medium follow:
• For DVD distribution:
$ MOUNT/OVERRIDE=IDENTIFICATION cd_dev:
$ BACKUP cd_dev:[CACHEDIST]C2008_2_0_300_0.BCK/SAVE
dest_dev:[CACHEKIT...]
$ DISMOUNT cd_dev:
Where cd_dev is the device name of your DVD drive, [CACHEDIST]C2008_2_0_300_0.BCK is
an example name of the compressed backup file on the DVD, dest_dev is the device name for
your local hard disk, and [CACHEKIT] is a directory that you create on your local disk to temporarily
uncompress and store the installation kit distribution files. Two levels down in the uncompressed
kit is CINSTALL.COM.
• For magnetic tape distribution:
$ MOUNT/FOREIGN magtape_dev:
$ BACKUP magtape_dev:C2008_2_0_300_0.BCK/REWIND/SAVE/SELECT=
[REL.ALPHAVMS.DIST...] dest_dev:[CACHEKIT...]
$ DISMOUNT magtape_dev:
Where magtape_dev is the device name of your magnetic tape drive, C2008_2_0_300_0.BCK is
an example name of the compressed backup file on the tape, dest_dev is the device name for your
local hard disk, and [CACHEKIT] is a directory that you create on your local disk to temporarily
uncompress and store the installation kit distribution files. Two levels down in the uncompressed
kit is CINSTALL.COM.
• For backup save set distribution:
$ CREATE/DIR dest_dev:[CACHEKIT...]
$ BACKUP C2008_2_0_300_0.BCK/SAVE dest_dev:[CACHEKIT...]
Where dest_dev is the device name for your local hard disk, [CACHEKIT] is a directory that you
create on your local disk, and C2008_2_0_300_0.BCK is an example name of the compressed
backup file on the ftp server. This is required to correctly recreate the directory structure on your
local disk.
Important:
Caché does not support lowercase characters in pathnames on OpenVMS.
