How do we perform a silent NetDirector install? |
Question:Will the NetDirector installer run in unattended mode? How do I pass extra parameters?
Answer:The NetDirector Agent installer will also run in an unattended
mode. In an unattended installation, you will not be prompted for any configuration
information. You can invoke the unattended installation by launching the installer with the
[--mode unattended] option. For example:
./filename --mode unattended
Since NetDirector uses the Bitrock installer, you can find more details on the Bitrock website (http://bitrock.com/support_installbuilder_faq.html#A2_3)
If
you want to customize the installation, you can do so using
command-line parameters. For example, to change the installation
directory, you can do one of the following:
1) Use the --prefix option to pass the installation directory to the installer:
netdirectoragent-2.8.h-linux-installer.bin --mode unattended --prefix /tmp/ib
2) Use the --option file to pass the location of a file listing options:
netdirectoragent-2.8.h-linux-installer.bin --mode unattended --optionfile myoptionsfile
where the "myoptionsfile" contains lines of the format:
prefix=/tmp/ib
3)
Use a .options file to pass the options to the installer. To do this,
create an option file as specified in 2), but named as
<installername>.options, in this case:
netdirectoragent-2.8.h-linux-installer.bin.options
Place this file the same directory from where the installer is going to be launched. Now you only need to issue:
netdirectoragent-2.8.h-linux-installer.bin --mode unattended
and the option file will be automatically picked-up by the installer.
