The Oracle VM Manager installer can be installed silently, without any intervention. An installation configuration file can be created to set particular installation options. The configuration script is written in YAML format (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML). Structure is shown through indentation using spaces. Do not use tab characters in the configuration file or it may not parse correctly. Sequence items are denoted by a dash, and key value pairs within a map are separated by a colon.
The following example silently performs an installation using predefined parameters.
Always provide the absolute path to the configuration file. The installer cannot process a relative path and will simply terminate the installation process.
Example 3.2 Silent install using configuration file
The command to run the silent production installation using a configuration file is:
./runInstaller.sh --config=/path/config.yml
-i install --assumeyes
Substitute /path/config.yml
with
the path to a YAML formatted configuration file that
includes the following keys and values:
db: port :49500
Sets the TCP port that MySQL uses user :ovs
Sets the username for the Oracle VM Manager database in MySQL password :p4ssword
Sets the password for the Oracle VM Manager database in MySQL webLogic: user :weblogic
Sets the username for the Oracle WebLogic Server administrative user password :p4ssword
Sets the password for the Oracle WebLogic Server administrative user OVMCore: user :admin
Sets the username for the Oracle VM Manager application password :p4ssword
Sets the password for the Oracle VM Manager application Certificate: FQN :fully.qualified.domain.name
Sets the value for the hostname applied to the automatically generated self-signed SSL certificate that Oracle VM Manager uses for HTTPS communications. It should either match a valid IP address, or should contain the hostname returned by the hostname -f command.
Replace the p4ssword
entry with
your own password. It is advisable to use the same password
for all components to avoid confusion later. Replace the
fully.qualified.domain.name
with
the fully qualified domain name of the server where you are
installing Oracle VM Manager.
The db:port
, db:user
,
webLogic:user
and
OVMCore:user
parameters are all ignored
during a silent upgrade. You must include these parameters
in your silent install configuration, however, they do not
take effect.
