Configure and Use a Response File

You can create a response file for running a silent installation with no user interaction. Using a response file has the same effect as specifying CA_SETUP_MODE=UNATTENDED in the command line. A response file turns the installation into the silent, unattended mode.

The installer uses the properties in the response file to install the agent without prompting for user input.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to the computer system as administrator or root.
2. Create a response file based on the parameters specified in the Install the Agent from Command Line sections. A response file is a text file that consists of parameter settings like the following:

   parameter1=value1
   parameter2=value2
   ...
   

3. Navigate to the DVDdrive\Installers\OperatingSystem\Agent\SysMan\CA_SystemEDGE_Core directory, and enter one of the following commands according to your operating system:

   ca-setup CA_SETUP_RESPONSE_FILE="<name of the response file>" (Windows)
   

   sh ca-setup.sh CA_SETUP_RESPONSE_FILE="<name of the response file>" (UNIX, Linux)
   

   CA_SETUP_RESPONSE_FILE

   Specifies the path and name of the response file.

   The installation uses the settings in the response file to run silently.
