Installing NetVault Backup in unattended mode

The unattended mode is supported on all operating systems. When performing unattended installations, you can specify the installation options at the command line or in an option file.

An option file is a text file that provides answers to the questions that would be asked during the installation process. Each answer is stored as a value for a variable identified in the option file. You can save the option file in any directory and assign it any valid filename.

The installer uses the default values for options that are omitted (except for the password for PostgreSQL Database Superuser, which does not have a default value).

To install NetVault Backup Server or Client in unattended or silent mode:
1
Log on to the system with administrator or root-level access.
2
Start a command prompt window or terminal session, and navigate to the directory in which the installation file resides.
3
Type the following command:
Linux- and UNIX-based systems:
./<Name of the installation file> --mode unattended <options>
— or —
./<Name of the installation file> --mode unattended --optionfile <filename>
Windows-based systems:
<Name of the installation file> --mode unattended <parameter list>
— or —
<Name of the installation file> --mode unattended --optionfile <filename>

You can specify the following parameters at the command line or in the option file.
