Silent Mode Installation Options

Silent mode is a non-interactive installation method. You navigate to the extract-directory and execute the install.bin (Oracle Solaris OS or Linux) or install.exe (Windows) at the command line. You can execute silent mode in one of two ways:

• A silent installation can be directed by supplying a properties file. The properties file contains parameters and properties that define the installation choices for the Installer.

  A properties file must first be created by running a GUI or console mode installation using the –r option as shown in the following example:

  # ./install.bin -i GUI -r /path/filename.properties

  where path must be an absolute path to the directory where your properties file will be created, and filename is the name of your properties file (suggested name: installer.properties).

  Once the properties file is created, you can use the file to do an identical silent installation using the following command:

  # ./install.bin -i silent -f /path/filename.properties

  where path can be either an absolute path or a path relative to the location of the properties file.

  Note -  You don't need to use the –f option if you created a file named installer.properties in the same directory as install.bin. The installer will, by default, look for a file named installer.properties in that directory.

• If no properties file is supplied, a default installation of the Management Pack components is performed with no post-installation configuration steps. When using the default silent install, all Management Pack components are installed, except IPMItool.

  Note -  On a server without SNMP configured, Management Agents is not installed. On a server with a previous version of Management Pack installed, the software is upgraded. The Host-to-ILOM Interconnect is not configured or enabled by default.
