Installing the Client in Unattended (Silent) Mode

Ater running the installer in GUI mode and recording the responses into a response file, edit the file to customize the responses.

Run the installer to perform a silent installation. Provide a response file that contains answers to all of the installer’s questions. You can generate a response file for the installer by either:
  • Running the installer in GUI mode and recording all of the responses into a response file, or
  • Running the installer and having it write out a template file.
  1. Change the default directory to the CD.
  2. Run the setup program:
    ./setup -is:javaconsole -options-record <full_path response file>
  3. Run through the installation, saving all of the responses.
  4. Edit the response file to customize it for your needs.

    Run the setup program with the -options filename and -silent command line arguments. You must also include the -W argument, indicating that you accept the license agreement.

    ./setup -is:javaconsole -silent -options <full path response file>
