150 Installing Managed System Software on Supported Linux Operating Systems
Using the Shell Script to Perform the Custom Installation
You can run the Server Administrator Custom Install script in interactive
mode or in silent and unattended mode.
The basic usage of the script is:
srvadmin-install.sh [OPTION]...
Server Administrator Custom Installation Utility
This utility will run in interactive mode if you do not specify any options, and
it will run silently if you provide one or more options.
The options are:
[-x|--express] installs all components including RAC. Any other options
passed will be ignored.
[-b|--base] installs Base components.
[-s|--storage] installs Storage components, including Base.
[-r|--rac] installs applicable RAC components, including Base.
[-w|--web] installs Web Server components, including Base.
[-u|--update] updates applicable components in upgrade of prior versions
(same as -x for upgrade).
[-a|--autostart] starts the installed services after components have been
installed.
[--prefix PATH] installs the selected components to the specified "PATH".
This option does not apply to OpenIPMI RPMs as they are not relocatable.
[-h|--help] displays help text.
Using the Custom Install Script To Run in the Silent and
Unattended Mode
The following is an example of a silent and unattended custom installation
using the srvadmin-install.sh shell script.

Log on as root to the system running the supported Red Hat Enterprise
Linux or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating system where you want
to install the managed system components.
