Installation in silent mode can be performed only when the installation method is one of the following:
New installation
Multi-version installation
The installation procedure is described below.
1. Change to the superuser
Run the following command to switch to the superuser on the system.
$ su - Password:******
2. Mount the DVD drive
Insert the server program DVD in the DVD drive, and run the command given below.
# mount -t iso9660 -r -o loop /dev/dvd /media/dvd
/dev/dvd is the DVD drive device, and /media/dvd is the mount point (which must already exist before calling the command).
Note
If you the DVD was mounted automatically using the automatic mount daemon (autofs), "noexec" is set as the mount option, so the installer may fail to start. 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.
3. 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".
4. Run the installation
Execute the following command:
# cd /media/dvd # ./silent.sh /home/work/inspara.csv
In the example above, /media/dvd is the DVD mount point, and /home/work/inspara.csv is the installation parameter 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.
