The following list summarizes the tasks required to run a silent install.
Mount the DVD and set up the sybase account. See “Mounting the installation media”. If your DVD drive is set up for automount, skip this step.
Create a sybase user account to provide consistent ownership and privileges for all installation, configuration, and upgrade tasks. See “Setting up the sybase account”.
If a sybase account already exists, skip this step, but verify that you can use this account to log in the system.
Set the $SYBASE environmental variable to directory where you plan to install Sybase IQ. See “Setting the $SYBASE environmental variable”.
Update the installation parameters, if necessary. Installation parameters are stored in SilentInstall.txt and match the defaults in a typical installation. To change any installation options, edit this file and save your changes on the file system. See “Editing the installation parameters”.
Run the silent install scripts. Complete all preinstallation tasks before you run the installer. See “Running a silent install” and “Completing the installation”.
Set the environment variables. Installing IQ also installs some environment files that set variables that are required to run Sybase IQ Server. See “Setting environment variables”.
