installdsm script-Install Client Automation on Linux or UNIX

The installdsm script has the following format:

installdsm [-f | -r responsefile [/Rname=value…] | -g responsefile ]

-f

Forces installation without backup of a possibly existing older product version.

-r responsefile [/Rname=value ...]

Performs an unattended installation using the values specified in the response file. The -r option causes installdsm to check that the response file is not empty and contains a valid set of label-value pairs. The /R specification overrides any parameters specified in the response file. Supply a separate /R specification for each parameter that you want to override, for example:

installdsm -r rsp.txt \
/RITRM_AUTOSTART_INSTALL=1 \
/RITRM_AUTOSTART_REBOOT=1

There is no check for the validity of the parameter names or values, or whether the named parameters are in the response file.

The default list of parameter settings is supplied as a sample response file install.rsp in each of the Linux and UNIX packages.

Each time you use the installer for an interactive installation or to generate a response file for an unattended installation, you can edit the parameter values. After the installation script prompts you for the options, the installer copies the files into place and runs the configuration actions.

-g responsefile

Generates a response file. The script displays the dialogs as for an interactive installation, but at the end of the dialog sequence writes all the property values you specify to the named response file.
