About VCS manual installation

You can manually install and configure VCS instead of using the installvcs program. Perform a manual installation when:

• You are installing a single VCS depot.
• You are installing VCS to one system in a cluster already running VCS 5.0.
• You are unable to install on a system over the network. This can occur when you do not have remote root user access.

A manual installation takes a lot of time, patience, and care. Symantec strongly recommends that you use the installvcs program instead of the manual installation when possible.
