Step 2, option 3: Installing Unisphere for PowerMax using silent install

About this task

Silent install provides a noninteractive mode of installation using a response file. It enables installation simultaneously on multiple hosts and helps to automate the install process.

Typical response file contents are in the form of key-value pairs. The installer interprets the keys in the response files as InstallAnywhere variables and replaces their values at runtime. Typical contents of a response file are as follows: 

EMC_SUNAME=smc
EMC_HTTPSPORT= [PORT NUM]
EMC_DBPORT=[PORT NUM]
EMC_CONNTYPE=[Local | Remote]
EMC_NODENAME=[localhost | remote host]
EMC_NETPORT=[PORT NUM]
BIND_ADDRESS=[IP ADRESS]
IS_RESPONSE_FILE=[always true]
USER_INSTALL_DIR=[install directory]
The following table contains definitions of the variables:
EMC_SUNAMEInitial Setup Username
EMC_HTTPSPORTCustom HTTPS port value
EMC_DBPORTDatabase port value
EMC_CONNTYPESYMAPI connection type. Can be either Local or Remote.
EMC_NODENAMESets the IP of the host on which SYMAPI is running.
EMC_NETPORTPort value for Remote SYMAPI connection type.
BIND_ADDRESSThe bind address used by JBoss
IS_RESPONSE_FILEMandatory variable to inform the installer that the response file is passed in silent install mode and input should be taken from the response file.
USER_INSTALL_DIRInstallation path

To install Unisphere for PowerMax using silent install:

Steps

  1. In the install directory, create a response file with a .properties extension and add the parameters that are listed above. The following text is response file with example options: 
    EMC_SUNAME=smc
EMC_HTTPSPORT=8443
EMC_DBPORT=3324
EMC_CONNTYPE=Local
EMC_NODENAME=localhost
EMC_NETPORT=2707
BIND_ADDRESS=198.51.100.99

    NOTE: On Linux, the install directory is /opt/emc.
    NOTE: On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.0 and above, installing on a nonroot partition is not supported.
  2. Invoke a silent install from the command line by typing one of the following commands:

    • For Linux: 

      ./UNIVMAX_aa.bb.cc.dd_RELEASE_LINUX_X86_64.bin –i silent [-f response_file]

    • For Windows: 

      UNIVMAX_aa.bb.cc.dd_RELEASE_WINDOWS_X86_64.exe –i silent [-f response_file]
    In the installation file name:
    • aa is the major release number.
    • bb is the minor release number.
    • cc is the service release number.
    • dd is the patch number.
    NOTE: For Windows you can use Start /wait to end the command execution:
    start /wait UNIVMAX_aa.bb.cc.dd_RELEASE_WINDOWS_X86_64.exe –i silent -f response_file
