Unattended or silent installations are typically used for updating
multiple systems. Except for the absence of the GUI screens, all actions of
InstallAnywhere are the same, and the result of an installation in silent mode is
exactly the same as one done in GUI mode with the same responses.
Prerequisites
A response file is a text file that contains installation options. You can override or edit the default response file, installer.properties, for use in subsequent installations. To override the default installation options, use the -f argument to point to a custom response file.
If you are
installing the LinuxAMD64 image on a Red Hat machine, you must
remount the DVD/CD drive to set the appropriate permissions for the
installer to run properly.
Task- Insert the installation media into the drive.
If the installation program launches
automatically, click Cancel to stop the installer.
To install the LinuxAMD64
image on a Red Hat machine, enter one of these commands to
remount the drive:
- mount -t iso9660 /dev/hda
/mnt/cdrom
- mount -o exec /dev/cdrom
/media
- From a console, change to the
setup directory.
The setup directory contains setup.bin,
installer.properties, and
other installation files.
- Enter:
setup.bin –f <responseFileName> -i silent
-DAGREE_TO_SYBASE_LICENSE=true
-DSYBASE_PRODUCT_LICENSE_TYPE=license
