To run silent installation on a Linux system, perform the following steps:
1 To begin the installation with all the default options, navigate to the linux
folder on the resource media and run the following command:
./md32xx_install.bin –i silent
2 To specify which features are to be installed silently, modify the
custom_silent.properties file located in the same directory and copy it to a
writable location on the host server. This file contains a list of supported
features and their descriptions. To utilize the modified
custom_silent.properties file, run the command:
./md32xx_install.bin -f
/path/to/custom_silent.properties.
