installp -aXgd PTF_filesets_location -e logfile fileset_names
-ag
Specifies that all the latest installable and requisite filesets available in the PTF_filesets_location directory are applied and committed.
-p
Performs a preview of the installation process by running the preinstallation checks. See Using installp.
-X
Attempts to expand the file system at the default location if there is insufficient space to complete the install.
-E
Displays software license agreements. This flag is only valid with the -a or -l flags. If the -E flag is specified with the -a flag, a new section is displayed showing the pending license agreements associated with the selected filesets. If the -E flag is specified with the -l flag, output is displayed showing the license agreements associated with all filesets on the media.
-d PTF_filesets_location
Specifies the directory where the filesets are located. This path might also be a mounted CD-ROM drive.
-e logfile
Specifies the name and location of the installation log file.
fileset_names
Specifies a list of names of the filesets in PTF_filesets_location that you want to install.
Tip: The keyword all can be used to indicate that all filesets must be attempted during installation.

The following example installs all available PTF filesets in the /compiler/update/ source directory to the default locations, as specified in Filesets, and writes an installation log file to /tmp/install.log.

Example:

installp -aXgd /compiler/update/ -e /tmp/install.log all
