Setting Up an iSCSI Cluster 47

Console Installation

NOTE: Console installation only applies to Linux systems that are not running a graphical

environment.

The autorun script in the root of the resource media detects when there is no

graphical environment running and automatically starts the installer in a text-

based mode. This mode provides the same options as graphical installation

with the exception of the MDCU specific options. The MDCU requires a

graphical environment to operate.

NOTE: The console mode installer provides the option to install the

MDCU.However a graphical environment is required to utilize the MDCU.

Silent Installation

This option allows you to install the software in an unattended mode. To run

the silent installation in a Windows system, perform the following steps:

To begin the installation with all the default options, navigate to the

windows folder on the resource media and run the following cmd:

md32xxi_install -i silent

To specify which features are to be installed silently, you must 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 cmd:

md32xxi_install -f <path>/custom_silent.properties

Enabling Premium Features (Optional)

If you ordered premium features, follow the instructions on the Premium

Features Card to install the additional features.
