Installation guide

Installing the ZENworks Server 59
PRIMARY_SERVER_PORT is the SSL port used by the parent Primary Server if the
secondary server is being installed to an existing Management Zone. By default, it is 443.
PRIMARY_SERVER_CERT= is the certificate you specified on the parent Primary Server if
the secondary server is being installed to an existing Management Zone. The certificate
must be in the base64 encoded string format of an x509 certificate, and the certificate string
must be specified in one line. The above is just an example of the certificate information.
5 After you have completed modifications to your custom response file, copy it from the path that
you specified in Step 3 to a location on each server where you will use it for the unattended
installation.
6 To use the updated response file, continue with Section 4.2.2, “Performing the Installation,” on
page 59.
NOTE: If you want to install Microsoft .NET by using silent install properties file, you need to
manually set the value in the silent file as INSTALL_DOT_NET=1.
4.2.2 Performing the Installation
1 On the installation server where you will perform an unattended installation, insert the Novell
ZENworks 11 installation DVD.
 For Windows, if the installation page where you can select the language is displayed, click
Cancel to exit the GUI installation.
 For Linux, mount the installation DVD.
2 To start the unattended installation, use the -f option in the command:
 For Windows, run
DVD_drive:\setup.exe -s -f path_to_file .
 For Linux, run
sh /media/cdrom/setup.sh -s -f path_to_file .
where path_to_file is either the full path to the response file that you created in Section 4.2.1,
“Creating Your Response File,” on page 57, or a directory containing the
silentinstall.properties file (it must use that filename).
Using the
sh command resolves rights issues.
If you renamed the updated response file, include its new name with the path.
If a filename is not given, or if either the path or file does not exist, the
-f parameter is ignored
and the default installation (GUI or command line) is run instead of an unattended installation.
3 To create another Primary Server for the Management Zone by performing an unattended
installation, return to Step 1; otherwise, continue with Step 4.
4 After the installation has completed, continue with Section 4.3, “Verifying Installation,” on
page 59.
4.3 Verifying Installation
Perform the following steps if you want to verify a successful installation.
1 After the installation has completed and the server has been rebooted, do any of the following to
verify that ZENworks 11 is running:
