Silent-mode uses a response file to provide input for the installation. This mode is useful for unattended installations and for installing STA on multiple machines.
Before running the installer, you must configure a response file.
On the STA server, open a terminal window. Log in as the Oracle user.
Change to the STA installer location. For example:
$ cd /Installers
Start the STA silent-mode installer.
See Installer Command Options for full definitions of the command parameters.
$ ./sta_installer_linux64_<version>.bin –silent –responseFile <absolute path to response file> –invPtrLoc <absolute path to Oracle central inventory pointer file>
For example:
$ ./sta_install_2.3.1_linux64.bin –silent –responseFile /Installers/silentInstall.rsp -invPtrLoc /Oracle/oraInventory/oraInst.loc
The installer displays status messages in the terminal window as it performs the following installation steps. This process may take 30 to 60 minutes to complete.
Performs prerequisite checks on the STA server environment.
Verifies that the response file is valid and includes entries for all required parameters.
Installs the included software packages, including MySQL, WebLogic, and the STA application.
Configures the STA environment using the settings you have supplied in the response file.
Starts the STA application.
If successful, you should see:
Configuration:Post Configuration completed successfully The installation of STA_Install 2.3.1 completed successfully. Logs successfully copied to /Oracle/StorageTek_Tape_Analytics/cfgtoollogs/oui.
If it fails, you may see:
[ERROR] Rule_CalculateFreeSpace_Error. Aborting Install Logs are located here: /tmp/OraInstall2016-09-24_09-29-29AM. ** Error during execution, error code = 256.
When the installer completes successfully, verify that STA is running.
