- The installer prompts you with the following question:
Participate in the NetBackup Product Improvement Program? [y,n,q] (y)
If you type y and press Enter, the installer uploads installation deployment and product usage information to Veritas automatically and in a secured manner. This data helps Veritas to guide future product development and also analyze issues.

The installer prompts for the following information:

Type a directory path under which to install the OpsCenter database and press Enter.
If you create an alternate database directory, the script creates the folder OpsCenterServer below your directory.

In case the database installation directory (/var/symantec) does not exist on the host, the following information is displayed:
Directory "/var/symantec" does not exist. Do you want to create the directory? [y,n,q] y
Type y to confirm and press Enter.
The following information is displayed:
The OpsCenter database server may require up to 1 GB of temporary space at runtime. By default, temporary files will be created in the database installation directory /var/Symantec/OpsCenterServer
- You are prompted with the following message:
Would you like to use an alternate directory for database server temporary space? [y,n,q] (n)
To use the database installation directory for database server temporary space, press Enter without typing a directory path.
To specify an alternate directory, type y and press Enter.
Type a directory path for the database server temporary space and press Enter.
