You may use a response file generated from a successful Veritas Cluster Server
One (VCS One) installation, modifying it as needed, and use it to run another
installation. This method is useful to install VCS One clients on multiple
systems in an unattended mode.
Installation using a response file
You can edit a response file generated from a successful installation and place it
in a specific directory on the system where you plan to run another installation.
When you run the install program, use the -responsefile
response_file option.
To perform an installation using a response file
1 Edit the response file and define values for the variables the installation
requires. For example, save it as “response_file” in the
/tmp
directory.
2 Make sure that packages or Red Hat package management (RPM) systems to
be installed have been upgraded.
3 Make sure the system where you run the installation command can
communicate with the systems where the software is installed using ssh or
rsh.
4 Make sure that the clock times on all systems in the same time zone are
within 30 minutes of one another.
5 On the system where you want to run the installation, mount the software
disc and navigate to the directory containing the installation program. Enter
the following:
cd cluster_server_one
6 Run the installer with the
-responsefile path_to_response_file
option. Enter the following:
#
./installvcsonecd -responsefile /tmp/response_file
