Updating VHS
•
If the installation replaces an old copy of an VHS configuration file, the new file has
the owner and the security attributes of the user running the installation routine.
•
If the installation creates a new file, the new file is owned by the user running the
installation routine; its security attributes are set to the current default security
values.
Each option of the INSTVHS routine uses a different definition file to direct files to their
intended subvolumes and to set common configuration parameters. Use the default
definition file name when you install the VHS components. Table 2-2 describes the
default definition file name used by each INSTVHS option.
Based on the INSTVHS option selected, INSTVHS generates a default definition file
and provides a menu-like interface with which you can modify the default parameters.
