To configure the application, refer to one of the following sections:
• “Professional edition configuration” on page 23

• “SMI Agent only configuration” on page 35
Headless installation
Headless installation, also known as silent mode installation, is fully supported on all platforms. Once initiated, the
headless installation requires minimal user interaction and runs based on the default values provided. Headless
installation performs the actual installation; however, you must use the Configuration wizard in graphical user
interface mode to copy data and settings, configure the FTP or SCP server, configure IP, and configure server ports.
Pre-installation requirements for Windows systems (headless installation)
Make sure all system requirements have been met prior to installation. For specific system requirements, refer to
“System requirements” on page 13.
Pre-installation requirements for UNIX systems (headless installation)
An X Server display is required, even when performing a headless installation, to run the initial configuration. Before
you install Network Advisor, complete the following:
• Make sure all system requirements have been met prior to installation. For specific system requirements, refer
to “System requirements” on page 13.
• Make sure that an X Server is available for display and is configured to permit X Client applications to display
from the host on which they are installing the Network Advisor server (typically, this simply requires that the
system console be present and running with a logged-in user on the X Server-based desktop session, such as
KDE, GNOME, and so on).
The DISPLAY can be any host X Server (for example, DISPLAY can be set to display the configuration to another
UNIX system that has an X-based desktop).
