Performing unattended client installations
About response files
About response files
Response files are pre-saved responses to questions that the client installer
asks. Use a response file to perform unattended installations.
Choose a response file type that works with your configuration:
■
Deployment credential installation. For unattended installations without
predefined system credentials.
■
Credential installation. For unattended installations with predefined system
credentials.
■
No credential installation. For installations performed without credentials.

This example shows a deployment credential installation and configuration of
the VCS One client on three systems (redhat1, redhat2, and redhat3) using the
deployment credential:

$CPI::CFG{OPT}{INSTALLCONFIG}=1;
$CPI::CFG{SYSTEMS}=[ qw(redhat1, redhat2, redhat3) ];

$CPI::CFG{VCSONECD_CC_ATPORT}=14159;
$CPI::CFG{VCSONECD_CLUSTERIP}=[ qw(10.198.92.127) ];
