ProcedureTo Run the Installer in Silent Mode

Silent installation can be lengthy, depending on the number and type of product components that you are installing.

  1. Verify that your state file is edited correctly for the host.

  2. If you are not logged in as root, become superuser.

  3. Navigate to the directory where the installation program is located.


    cd installer-directory
    
  4. Run the installer using the following syntax:


    ./installer -nodisplay -noconsole -state statefile
    

    -nodisplay

    Suppress the graphical display. 

    -noconsole

    Start the installer in silent mode, suppressing the user interface. 

    -state

    Use the specified state file as input to a silent installation. 

    statefile

    Specify an absolute or relative pathname to a state file. 

  5. After installation is complete, proceed to the next host and repeat Steps 1 through 4.
