Installing NetVault 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 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.

 
* 
NOTE: To access help on the installation options, you can run the installer with the --help option:

On Linux and UNIX: ./<Name of the installation file> --help

On Windows: <Name of the installation file> --help

Installing the software package using Group Policy

In an Active Directory (AD) Domain, you can create a Group Policy Object (GPO) to install the NetVault Client software on multiple machines in the domain.

To install NetVault Clients using Group Policy Objects:
1
Step 1: Set up a Windows Domain:
a
Set up a machine as the Windows Domain Controller.
b
Add all the clients to the Domain.
For more information about setting up a Windows Domain, see the relevant Windows documentation.
2
Step 2: Copy the NetVault installation file to a shared folder:
a
Log on to the Domain Controller as Administrator, and create a shared folder that is accessible to all machines in the domain.
a
Copy the installation file to the shared directory.
3
Step 3: Create a Group Policy Object:
a
Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Group Policy Management.
b
Right-click the domain, and click Create a GPO in this domain, and Link it here.
c
Type a name for the new policy (for example, NetVault), and click OK.
d
In the left pane of the Group Policy Management Console, open the applicable nodes, and select the GPO. In the right-pane, go to the Security Filtering section.
e
By default, the policy is not applied to any client machines. To add a machine, click Add. In the dialog box that appears, click Object Types, and select Computers (if not already selected).
f
Select the machines on which you want to install NetVault. Click OK.
4
Step 4: Assign the package:
a
In the Group Policy Management Console, select the policy, and click Edit. Under Computer Configuration, expand Software Settings.

Right-click Software installation, point to New, and then click Package. In the Open dialog box, type the full UNC path of the shared installer package (for example, \\<file server>\<share>\<installation file name>), and click Open.
 
* 
NOTE: Verify that you use the UNC path; do not use the Browse button to access the shared location.
c
In the Deploy Software dialog box, leave the Assigned option selected, and click OK.
The NetVault installation package is now listed in the right-pane of the Group Policy Management Editor.
d
Close the Group Policy Management Editor and the Group Policy Management Console.
