eXtreme Scale Installation parameters
Overview
Specify parameters at the command line to customize and configure the product installation.
You must specify the fully-qualified response file name. Specifying the relative path causes the installation to fail with no indication that an error occurred.
You can pass the following parameters during a command-line or options file installation of the product:
- -silent
- Suppress the GUI.
Specify the -options parameter to indicate that the installer completes the installation according to a customized options file. If you do not specify the -options parameter, the default values are used instead.
For example...
./install.sh -silent -options options_file.txt
- -options path_name/file_name
- Options file that the installer uses to complete a silent installation. Properties on the command line take precedence.
./install.sh -options c:/path_name/options_file.txt
- -log # !file_name @event_type
- Generate an installation log file that logs the following event types:
- err
- wrn
- msg1
- msg2
- dbg
- ALL
For example...
./install.sh -log # !c:/temp/logfiles.txt @ALL
- -is:log path_name/file_name
- Create a log file that contains the JVM searches of the installer while attempting to start the GUI. The log file is not created unless specified.
For example...
./install.sh -is:log c:/logs/javalog.txt
- -is:javaconsole
- Display a console window during the installation process.
For example...
./install.sh -is:javaconsole
- -is:silent
- Suppress the Java initialization window that is displayed as the installer starts.
For example...
./install.sh -is:silent
- -is:tempdir path_name
- Temporary directory that the installer uses during the installation.
For example...
./install.sh -is:tempdir c:/temp
