Silent Installs - Unix Agents

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.

• SUBSYSTEMS= {these are the names of the subsystems (agents) to be installed, and these parameters are required if they are not specified in the command line. Valid values include CVGxIDA, CVGxMA, CVGxOrIDA, CVGxIfIDA, CVGxSybIDA, CVGxOrSAP and CVGxSRM. One or more parameters can be specified (e.g., CVGxIDA, CVGxMA)}

  Do not use this parameter if you are running a Decoupled Install of the software. Otherwise, the installation will fail.

• FW_CONFIG= {(optional) this is used to specify whether you want to configure firewall settings. Use value 1 to configure firewall settings, value 0 (default) to forego configuring the settings}
• FW_PORTS= {(optional) this is used to identify the number range of the unused ports or the number range of the open incoming ports for a one-way firewall that allows only outgoing connections (e.g., 8600-8620)}

• SP= {this is the name of the storage policy you want assigned to the default subclient in the default backup set (e.g., SP_Maglibrary_2)}

  Storage policy names are listed on the CommCell Console.

• NUMSTREAMS= {this is the number of streams you want allocated (e.g., 10)}

  This field is only for Solaris clients.

  If you enter 0 for this field, the /etc/system configuration file is not updated.

  If you enter a value greater than 0, the /etc/system configuration file is updated, and the original version of the file is copied to an /etc/system.gal.PID file (where PID is the installer process ID on the server).

• GALAXY_GROUP= {this is the name of the group that will be assigned to all files and on behalf of which all processes will run}
• FORCE_IPV4= {this is used to enforce a probe of the IPV4 network for systems either not running IPV6 or with IPV6 installed but for which IPV6 should not be used. Use value 1 to enforce an IPV4 probe, 0 to disable it.}
• DECOUPLED_INSTALL= {this is used to run a Decoupled Install of the software. Use value 1 to run this install.}
• SINGLE_INTERFACE_BINDING = {(optional) this is used if you want to bind all services to the specified interface name or IP address. Use value 1 to enforce this capability, 0 to disable it.}
• COMMCELL_GLOBAL_FILTER = {(optional) this is used to filter out specific directories or files from the backups within the CommCell. The filters are set using the Control Panel in the CommCell Console and, if enabled, they will be effective for the default subclient. Valid values include 0, the default (use the CommCell-level policy), 1 (on), and 2 (off) (e.g., 0)}
• INSTALL_LATEST_SP= {(optional) this is used to download and install the latest service pack. Use value 1 to download and install the service pack, value 0 (default) to disable the download and install.}

The following parameter pertains only to SAP for Oracle:

• SAPEXEHOME= {this is the path of the SAPEXE directory (e.g., /usr/sap/SYS/exe)}

The following parameters pertain only to Sybase:

• SYBASE_NUM= {this is the instance number for the Sybase instance being configured (e.g., 1)}
• SYBASE_USER= {this is the Sybase user ID (e.g., sybase)}
• SYBASE_GROUP= {this is the name of the Sybase user group (e.g., sybase)}
• SYBASE_SERVER= {this is the name of the Sybase server (e.g., tigger)}
• SYBASE_HOME= {this is the name of the Sybase home directory (e.g., /sybase/sybase12.5.3)}

• SYBASE_OCS= {this is the name of the Sybase OCS variable (e.g., OCS-12_5)}

Save your changes.

• Using the traditional parameters file:

  silent_install [-params <params_file>] [-log <log_file>]\ <module _1>...<module_n>

  where:

  • <params_file> specifies the name of the file with installation parameters. If you are using a user-defined file name, be sure to enter the entire path (e.g., /start/user_choice). If you are using the default file name, omit this parameter.
  • <log_file> specifies the custom log file name that you should create as a temporary log file. This file is displayed only if the installation fails.
  • <module_1..._n> specifies the name of the subsystem(s) to be installed. Values include CVGxBase (for the Base software) and CVGxIDA (for the iDataAgent). CVGxIDA is the only <module> parameter that you need to include in the command line to install both the iDataAgent and the Base software.

  For example:

  silent_install -params /start/user-choice -log log_file CVGxBase CVGxIDA

  If you are using the default version of the silent_install.example file (i.e., if you have copied and renamed this file to /tmp/pkgenvinfo), you need only issue one of the following commands:

  silent_install CVGxBase CVGxIDA

  or:

  silent_install CVGxIDA.

• Using the RPM package management system:

  Copy, modify and rename silent_install.example script file from installation discs base location to /etc/cvsi.conf.

  rpm -i <pkgfile>

  where

  <pkgfile> is the name of the RPM package management system file

  For example:

  rpm -i rely_version1.rpm

• Using the APT package management system:

  dpkg -i <pkgfile>

  where

  <pkgfile> is the name of the APT package management system file

  For example:

  dpkg -i rely_version2.deb
