Unattended Installation Using a Custom Package on UNIX Client

You can configure a direct connection from the CommServe computer to the client during an unattended installation using a custom package on a UNIX client.

Before You Begin

You must create a placeholder for the client that will receive connections from the CommServe computer. Follow the appropriate instructions based on the type of network route configuration:

• If you plan to use a predefined network topology, see Setting up a One-Way Direct Connection (CommServe to Client) Using a Predefined Network Topology. You must configure the topology and then create a placeholder.

• If you plan to use advanced settings, see Setting up Connections on the CommServe Computer.

Procedure

• From the command prompt on the UNIX client, run the following command:

   
  ./silent_install -fwtype 1 -csclientname <CS clientname> -tunnelport <tunnelport> -authcode <authcode> -httpproxyhost <httpProxyHostName> -httpproxyport <httpProxyPortNum>

  Where:

  • fwtype 1 means that the CommServe client can open a tunnel to this client (required)

  • <CS clientname> is the CommServe client name (optional)

  • <tunnelport> is the tunnel port of the local client (optional)

  • <authcode> is the authcode of the CommCell or company (optional)

  • <httpProxyHostName> is the hostname of the proxy (optional)

  • <httpProxyPortNum> is the port number of the proxy (optional)

    Note

    If you run the command without optional parameters, the installation procedure will use recorded information from the custom package.
