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 1means 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.
