Siebel Server Installation Guide for UNIX >

Installing in Unattended or Console Modes

---

This chapter provides instructions for installing without the installation GUI, using unattended mode or console mode. Complete instructions for installing using the GUI are provided in subsequent chapters.

For performance or security reasons, you may choose to install the Siebel eBusiness Applications servers using one of these modes instead of the installation GUI.

Use unattended installation mode if user input of configuration parameters during the installation is not allowed in your environment.
Use console installation mode when installing over a WAN. This is because installing over a WAN can use large amounts of bandwidth resulting in undesirable lag times during installation. The console installation provides a text-only interface that lets you bypass the Java-based GUI.
Use console installation mode if you are using a Windows machine to connect and install onto a UNIX machine. Third-party terminal emulators are not supported due to issues with unexpected exiting and poor performance during installation.
