Installer Design Requirements

 

1.        Installer should be trivial to run for first-time users. Single-step a:install is the goal. Intelligent defaults should be chosen so that InSight will be operational on customer lab systems after installation. Logical names, device drivers, message file and background task configuration should all be automatic.

2.        Installation should not require controller reboot.

3.        Try to fit installer on a single diskette.

4.        Installation should handle multiple nodes. All nodes should not have to be present at time of installation. For MCF systems, installation will be done from acting master.

5.        Installer should handle both new install and upgrade install.

6.        For customers who want to control their own installation, CDI options can control InSight installation process. For example, user may not want all steps automated.

7.        Installation should be compatible with 4690 Apply Software Maintenance (ASM). InSight installer should generate an ASM Product Control File and other associated files.

8.        Single step uninstall (will also provide single step InSight enable/disable).
