Note: This version of the VDT (1.11.0) is no longer supported. Feel free to look through the documentation and install it, but we cannot guarantee support for it. The current stable release is 2.0.0.

Using a Pre-Existing GUMS Installation

By default, the VDT uses its own GUMS installation for when installing and configuring PRIMA. However, if you want to use the GUMS client or PRIMA from the VDT, but have it use an existing GUMS server on the same or a different host, use the following mechanism.

Note: Read the instructions before installing from the VDT.

Installation Procedure

To have the GUMS client or PRIMA use an existing GUMS server, do the following steps:

Set the VDT_GUMS_HOST environment variable to the fully qualified hostname of the GUMS server:
(for Bourne shell-compatible shells)
```
VDT_GUMS_HOST=GUMS-SERVER-HOSTNAME
export VDT_GUMS_HOST
```
(for csh-compatible shells)
```
setenv VDT_GUMS_HOST GUMS-SERVER-HOSTNAME
```
Install from the VDT as normal
