Installing OMNM Silently
Linux systems support OpenManage Network Manager (OMNM) silent installation where the
installer runs without any user interaction. A near-silent mode is also possible on a Windows
system. Set installer and user-defined variables in a response (properties) file. The installer
automatically creates a sample properties file during a normal installation and saves it in your
installation’s root directory. For example:
/ installPath /sample_installer.properties
Install OMNM silently from a command line as follows.
1 Navigate to an existing installation you wish to recreate.
cd /openmanage/networkmanager/
2 Copy the sample_installer.properties file into your installer’s directory.
cp sample_installer.properties / homeDir /install/Disk1/InstData/
3 Rename the sample_installer.properties file to installer.properties.
mv sample_installer.properties installer.properties
4 Edit the properties file as needed using a text editor.
5 Start the silent installer by entering one of the following commands:
installername -i silent
The installer automatically checks the current directory for a file called installer.properties or
installername .properties and then executes the silent installation.
installername -f properties file
Calls the properties file and then executes the installation. You may use the direct or the
relative path to the properties file.
NOTE:
If you specify the properties file, it must include the following property to trigger silent mode.
INSTALLER_UI=silent
By default, the servers automatically start after the installation successfully completes.
6 Verify your installation as follows.
a. Enter the following URL from your browser:
http://hostID:8080/login
For the host ID, enter either the IP address or host name.
b. Sign in with the default credentials:
username=admin
password=admin
