3.3 Installation in Silent Mode

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.

You can set up WebAdmin during installation, but if you want WebAdmin to use the HTTPS protocol and perform client authentication, you must set it up again using the WebAdminSetup command. After the installation is complete, refer to "B.1 Setting Up WebAdmin" to set up WenAdmin again.

1. Mount the DVD drive

Insert the server program DVD into the DVD drive, and run the command given below.

Example

# 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 template for the installation parameters CSV file is "mountPoint/sample/sample.csv".

3. Run the installation

Execute the following command:

Example

# 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 installer ends in an error, a message is output to the log file and return values are returned.
