To Install in Silent Mode

2. Copy your installation configuration file to each machine where you plan to install the Application Server software.

3. Copy the Application Server installation files to each machine where you plan to install the Application Server software.

4. Navigate to the directory where you copied the installation files and your installation configuration file.

5. Start silent installation at the command line using the following command format:

   ./distribution-filename -silent configuration-filename

   The installation program reads the specified configuration-filename, checks for adequate disk space, then installs the product based on the data in configuration-filename .

   When you return to the shell prompt, the silent installation is complete and the installation components are installed on your systems.

   Review the installation log files. For a list of these log files and their locations, see Installation Log Files.

6. Start the server.

   You can start the Application Server software by using the instructions in the Chapter 1, Getting Started, in Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.2 Administration Guide.

   When the Admin Console is started, the initial page of the Application Server graphical interface is displayed.

   You are now ready to configure your system for high availability. To begin this process, see the Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.2 High Availability Administration Guide for information.
