Using silent mode to install an RSCD agent (Linux and UNIX)

You can perform an unattended (silent) installation of the RSCD agent on a Linux or UNIX computer.

To use silent mode for an installation, create a file of installation defaults (variables that control how a silent installation on Linux or UNIX behaves). Then run the RSCD agent installation program.

To install the agent on multiple computers, you can use an Agent Install Job. See the Running-the-Unified-Agent-Installer.

To install the RSCD agent in silent mode

1. Using any server, create a text file named nsh-install-defaults in the /tmp directory. The file must belong to root.

2. In the file, create an entry for each variable you want to set. Then for each variable you enter in the file, create another entry to export the variable. For example:
   NSH_INSTALL_SKEL=yes
   export NSH_INSTALL_SKEL 

   Note

   Ensure that the file is in UNIX format (a format in which a line feed, not a carriage return, specifies the end of a line). Otherwise, installation fails.

   The following table describes how to set each possible variable:The [confluence_table-plus] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline.
   

3. Save /tmp/nsh-install-defaults.
4. To run the installer, enter the following command:
   sh <RSCDversion-platform> -silent
    For example:
   sh RSCD82-SOL10-SPARC.sh -silent
