The tpm install command performs an installation based on the configuration held within the INI Configuration file.

The /etc/tungsten/tungsten.ini should first have been created and populated with the configuration appropriate to your needs.

After unpacking the software into /opt/continuent/software you would then run the tpm install command, for example:

shell> cd /opt/continuent/software/tungsten-clustering-8.0.0-10
shell> ./tools/tpm install

or, if you use a different name/location for the ini file, you can specify the --ini option:

shell> cd /opt/continuent/software/tungsten-clustering-8.0.0-10
shell> ./tools/tpm install --ini /my/directory/myconfig.ini

For staging deployments, the tpm install requires additional options to configure the deployment, for example:

shell> ./tools/tpm install alpha\
  --topology=master-slave \
  --master=host1 \
  --replication-user=tungsten \
  --replication-password=password \
  --home-directory=/opt/continuent \
  --members=host1,host2,host3 \
  --start

Or, alternatively use tpm configure prior to tpm install:

shell> ./tools/tpm configure alpha\
  --topology=master-slave \
  --master=host1 \
  --replication-user=tungsten \
  --replication-password=password \
  --home-directory=/opt/continuent \
  --members=host1,host2,host3 
shell> ./tools/tpm install alpha

During installation, tpm checks for any host configuration problems and issues and if requests, starts and reports the status of the service.

If any of these steps fail, changes are backed out and installation is stopped.
