Installing Managed System Software on Supported Linux and VMware ESX Server Operating
Creating and Distributing the Custom Unattended Installation Package
The Custom Install unattended installation option creates an unattended
installation package in a directory on your system's hard drive. To create an
unattended installation package, use the copy capability described in the
section "Using the Shell Script to Perform the Custom Installation in
Interactive Mode" to create a custom directory with the RPM's you want to
install. This directory will be your unattended installation directory.
Distributing Unattended Installation Packages
The custom unattended installation package is located in the directory you
created in the preceding step 6 of the custom installation (see "Custom
Install"). This directory contains all of the RPMs for the managed system
software components to distribute.
1
Configure your ISV software distribution software to execute rpm –i
*.rpm
after the unattended installation package has been distributed.
2 Use your ISV distribution software to distribute the unattended
installation package to the remote systems. The RPM command installs
Server Administrator on each remote system.
