CA Configuration Automation Server Installation › Install CA Configuration Automation Server or Grid Node Silently › Use the installer.properties File to Silently Install the CA Configuration Automation Server or Grid Node

Use the installer.properties File to Silently Install the CA Configuration Automation Server or Grid Node

Follow these steps:

1. Copy the installer.properties file to the directory where the CA Configuration Automation Server or Grid Node installation program is located.

   For example, if you replicated the directory structure on the CA Configuration Automation media, copy the installer.properties file to one of the following locations:

   • dvd1\CCA\Server\Linux
   • dvd1\CCA\Server\Solaris
   • dvd1\CCA\Server\Windows
   • dvd1\CCA\Gridnode\Linux
   • dvd1\CCA\Gridnode\Solaris
   • dvd1\CCA\Gridnode\Windows
2. To start the installation program, use one of the following commands:
   • installserver.exe -i silent
   • installserver64.exe -i silent
   • installserver.bin -i silent
   • installserver64.bin -i silent
   • installgridnode.exe -i silent
   • installgridnode64.exe -i silent
   • installgridnode.bin -i silent
   • installgridnode64.bin -i silent

   Note: To have the installation program search a different location, or search for a different file name, use the -f parameter. For example:

   installserver.exe -i silent -f c:\temp\ccaserver_install.properties
   

   The CA Configuration Automation Server or Grid Node installation program starts, then searches the current or specified directory for the installer.properties file. If the installation program locates the file, it uses the file to populate the property values used during the installation.
