Headless installation
1
Performing a headless installation on Windows and UNIX systems
To perform a headless installation through the CLI, insert the installation DVD into the DVD-ROM
drive.
• For Windows systems, open a Command Prompt and execute this command:
install.exe -i silent -DUSER_INSTALL_DIR="C:\Program Files\Network
Advisor11.X.X"
• For UNIX systems, open a UNIX shell and execute this command: install.bin -i silent
-DUSER_INSTALL_DIR="/opt/Network_Advisor11_X_X"
The application installs in silent mode using default settings.
To configure the application, refer to one of the following sections:
• If this is a fresh installation, refer to “Network Advisor Configuration” on page 17.
• If you are upgrading from a previous version and need to migrate data, refer to “Data
Migration” on page 33.
Troubleshooting the Linux headless installation
If you have completed all of the pre-Installation requirements and you are still unable to install the
application, run the following commands on the host.
1. Go to Install_Home/ (the directory containing install.bin).
2. Execute strace -f -F -v -s 1024 -o NetworkAdvisorinstall.txt ./install.bin.
3. Execute rpm -qa >> system.txt.
4. Execute ps -elf >> system.txt.
5. Execute md5sum install.bin >> system.txt.
6. Execute df -k >> system.txt.
7. Execute sh -c "xterm -e echo nothing >> system.txt 2>&1".
8. Execute env >> system.txt.
9. Execute sh -c "DISPLAY=:0.0 xterm -e echo nothing >> system.txt 2>&1".
10. Execute zip support1.zip NetworkAdvisorinstall.txt system.txt.
Send the support1.zip file output from the above (containing install.txt and system.txt) to
Technical Support. This file will help Technical Support isolate the issue.
