The tpm install command performs an installation based on the current configuration (if one has been previously created), or using the configuration information provided on the command-line.

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

Installs a service using the command-line configuration.

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

Configures the service first, then performs the installation steps.

During installation, tpm checks for any host configuration problems and issues, copies the Tungsten Cluster software to each machine, creates the necessary configuration files, 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.
