The silent install feature allows you
to enter installation parameters into a file that is read in by the
installation program instead of typing them in response to each
installation prompt. The following procedures provide step-by-step
instructions for installing the Base software and agent with one command
line execution, using the silent install feature. Silent installs can be
used to install the following:
Additionally, you can use the Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) package management system to install all versions of the Linux File System iDataAgent and the Linux MediaAgent. Also, you can use the Advanced Packaging Tool (APT) package management system to install all Debian Linux versions of these software components. |

Install Procedure |
||
1. | Place the software installation disc for Unix clients into the client computer's disc drive and mount the installation disc. | |
2. |
Unless you want to install a Linux iDataAgent
or Linux MediaAgent using an available package management system, search the installation disc for
silent_install.example
file. This file contains the parameters whose values you can modify for
use at your site’s installation. You must use either the default version
or a user-named version of this file. To use the default version of the file, copy and rename the silent_install.example file to /tmp/pkgenvinfo. To use a user-defined version of the file, copy the silent_install.example file to a user-named directory and file of your choice (e.g., /start/user_choice). If you are installing a Linux iDataAgent or Linux MediaAgent using a package management system, search the system for the cvsi.conf file (e.g., /etc/cvsi.conf) and the RPM or APT package management system file. |
|
3. |
Edit the pkgenvinfo file, user-defined file,
or cvsi.conf file as appropriate to modify the values of the following parameters for
use in your site’s installation. Note that several parameters are
optional as indicated.
The following parameter pertains only to SAP for Oracle:
The following parameters pertain only to Sybase:
Save your changes. |
|
4. |
Run one of the following commands as appropriate:
|
|
5. | The Base software is installed first followed by the iDataAgent. This installation will use the parameters that you entered into the your parameters file or package management system file. | |
6. | The installation has completed when a message appears, similar to the example. | Installation of CVGxBase0 CVGxBase CVGxIDA completed successfully |
