3.2 Installation in Silent Mode

Install according to the following procedure:

Create an installation parameters CSV file.
Change to the superuser.
Mount the DVD drive.
Run the installation.

Note

Configure the LANG environment variable in the console window where the silent.sh command is executed in accordance with the display environment. If the LANG environment variable is not set correctly, the displayed characters may appear garbled.

1) Create an installation parameters CSV file

Consider the features that will be required for system operations, and then create an installation parameters CSV file that uses the following specification format.

sectionName, parameterName, value
sectionName, parameterName, value
    :

Refer to "Appendix A Installation in Silent Mode" for information on installation parameters CSV files.

Information

The template for the installation parameters CSV file is "mountpoint/sample/sample.csv".

2) Change to the superuser

Run the following command to switch to the superuser on the system.

$ su -
Password:******

3) Mount the DVD drive

Insert the server program DVD in the DVD drive, and run the command given below.

Note

If the automatic mount daemon (autofs) is used to mount DVDs automatically, the installer fails to start because "noexec" is set in the mount options. In this case, use the mount command to remount the DVD correctly, and then run the installation. Note that the mount options of a mounted DVD can be checked by executing the mount command without any arguments.

Example

# mount -t iso9660 -r -o loop /dev/dvd /media/dvd

4) Run the installation

Execute the silent.sh command to start installation.

The example illustrates the installation parameters CSV file saved as "inspara.csv".

Note that the installation parameters CSV file can be stored in any location. In the example below, this location is "/home/work".

Example

# LANG=en_US.UTF-8;export LANG
# cd /media/dvd
# ./silent.sh /home/work/inspara.csv

If the installer ends in an error, a message is output to the log file and return values are returned. Refer to "Appendix A Installation in Silent Mode" for details.
