| Variable | List or Scalar | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CFG{opt}{upgrade} | Scalar | Upgrades VCS filesets. |
| (Required) | ||
| CFG{accepteula} | Scalar | Specifies whether you agree with EULA.pdf on the media. |
| (Required) | ||
| CFG{systems} | List | List of systems on which the product is to be upgraded. |
| (Required) | ||
| CFG{defaultaccess} | Scalar (optional) | Defines if the user chooses to grant read access for VCS cluster information to everyone. |
| CFG{key} | Scalar (optional) | Stores the keyless key you want to register. |
| CFG{vcs_allowcomms} | Scalar | Indicates whether or not to start LLT and GAB when you set up a single-node cluster. The value can be 0 (do not start) or 1 (start). |
| (Required) | ||
| CFG{opt}{keyfile} | Scalar | Defines the location of an ssh keyfile that is used to communicate with all remote systems. |
| (Optional) | ||
| CFG{opt}{pkgpath} | Scalar | Defines a location, typically an NFS mount, from which all remote systems can install product filesets. The location must be accessible from all target systems. |
| (Optional) | ||
| CFG{opt}{tmppath} | Scalar | Defines the location where a working directory is created to store temporary files and the filesets that are needed during the install. The default location is /opt/VRTStmp. |
| (Optional) | ||
| CFG{secusrgrps} | List | Defines the user groups which get read access to the cluster. |
| (Optional) | ||
| CFG{opt}{logpath} | Scalar | Mentions the location where the log files are to be copied. The default location is /opt/VRTS/install/logs. |
| Note: The installer copies the response files and summary files also to the specifiedlogpathlocation. | ||
| (Optional) | ||
| CFG{opt}{rsh} | Scalar | Defines that rsh must be used instead of ssh as the communication method between systems. |
| (Optional) | ||
| CFG{opt}{online_upgrade} | Scalar | Set the value to 1 for online upgrades. |
| CFG{subcluster} {#} | List | Defines the series of the sub-cluster division. The index # indicates the order in which the rolling upgrade is performed and hence you must define it you are upgrading a cluster that run different versions of the VCS engine. |
| The index # value starts from 0. | ||
| Each subcluster entry in the response file defines a list of nodes to be upgraded in that subcluster. | ||
| (Required) |
