Installation in silent mode can be performed only when the installation method is one of the following:
New installation
Multi-version installation
See
Refer to the Fujitsu Enterprise Postgres product website for information on installation in silent mode, such as the installation parameters and error messages.
The installation procedure is described below.
1. Mount the DVD drive
Insert the client program DVD into the DVD drive, and then execute the following command:
# mount -t iso9660 -r -o loop /dev/dvd /media/dvd
Here /dev/dvd is the device name for the DVD drive (which may vary depending on your environment), and /media/dvd is the mount point (which may need to be created before calling the command).
Note
If the DVD was mounted automatically using the automatic mount daemon (autofs), "noexec" is set as the mount option, so the installer may fail to start. In this case, use the mount command to remount the DVD correctly, and then run the installation. Note that the mount options of a mounted DVD can be checked by executing the mount command without any arguments.
2. Create an installation parameters CSV file
Consider the features that will be required for system operations, and then create an installation parameters CSV file that uses the following specification format.
sectionName, parameterName, value sectionName, parameterName, value :
Information
The templates for the installation parameters CSV file is "mountPoint/sample/sample_linux.csv"
3. Run the installation
Execute the following command:
# cd /media/dvd # ./silent.sh /home/work/inspara.csv
In the example above, /media/dvd is the DVD mount point, and /home/work/inspara.csv is the installation parameter CSV.
If the silent installer ends in an error, a message is output to the log file and return values are returned.
