Installing Across Multiple Machines

36 Netscape Enterprise Server Installation and Migration Guide • April 2002 (Draft)

Using Silent Installation

Silent installation is a less efficient way than templatized installation to install

multiple instances of Enterprise Server because remote instances of the server are

installed one by one rather than several at a time. You use silent installation to

create a file of responses to the setup program’s prompts, then edit the file

(

install.inf) and use it to install future Enterprise Server installations. With

silent installation, youmust first install Enterprise Server on your local machine,

then edit

install.inf to correspond to the remote machines where you’ll install

additional instances of the server. If you are installing Enterprise Server on a

number of remote machines, it is recommended that you use templatized

installation instead.

Silent installation works best when you use the Typical installation and your

installations are all similar.

To use silent installation, follow these steps:

1. Run setup with the -k option, which creates a file called install.inf that

containsallyourresponsesto the installer’sprompts.Atthecommandprompt,

type:

./setup -k

2. Answer the installer prompts and install Enterprise Server.

3. When theserverisinstalled,gototheserver_root/setup directory, whereyou’ll

find the

install.inf file.

4. Copy the install.inf file to the directory where you will run setup to install

your next Enterprise Server.

5. Edit the values in the install.inf file to match the values of the next server

you want to install.

For example, change the machine name, port number, installation directory,

etc.

6. Run setup using the install.inf file for input. For example:

./setup -s -f install.inf

CAUTION

The install.inf file contains the password used to log on to the

Administration Server. The password is not encrypted; itis in plain text. If

you use silent installation, be sure and delete the install.inf file once

you are through with it.
