Installation guide

66 NetIQ eDirectory 8.8 SP8 Installation Guide
[NWI:SNMP]
Stop service=yes
SLP Services
eDirectory uses SLP services to identify other servers or trees in the subnet during installation or
upgrade. If SLP services are already installed on your server, and you want to replace them with the
version that ships with the current version of the eDirectory (or use your own SLP services), you can
set appropriate keys in the
[NWI:SLP] tag to uninstall and remove the existing SLP services.
The following is sample text in the response file for uninstalling and removing SLP services:
[EDIR:SLP]
Need to uninstall service=true
Need to remove files=true
Primary/Secondary Server Installation
eDirectory Installer provides options for the unattended install of a primary or a secondary server,
into a network. There are three keys that help the Installer decide whether it is a primary or a
secondary server installation.
 New Tree: Use this key in the
[NWI:NDS] tag and set it to Yes for a new tree installation, or No
for a secondary server installation.
 ExistingTreeYes: This key is in the
[Novell:ExistingTree:1.0.0] tag. Set it to True/false. Set
this to False for a new tree or primary server installation and set it to True for a secondary server
in an existing tree.
 ExistingTreeNo: This key also is in the
[Novell:ExistingTree:1.0.0] tag. Although it seems
to be redundant to the previous key, the Installer refers to both keys, so both of them must be
configured properly. Set this one to True for a new tree or primary server installation and set it to
False for adding a secondary server in an existing tree.
For example, the keys for installing a primary server in a new tree would be as follows:
[NWI:NDS]
New Tree=Yes
[Novell:ExistingTree:1.0.0]
ExistingTreeYes=false
ExistingTreeNo=true
and for a secondary server installation into an existing tree:
[NWI:NDS]
New Tree=No
[Novell:ExistingTree:1.0.0] ExistingTreeYes=true ExistingTreeNo=false
Preconfigured Unattended Installation
All user-specific configuration details can be edited in the response file. However, there are certain
parameters that should not be changed. These are for file copy and component information specific
to the eDirectory components to be installed. Make sure these parameters in the response file are not
modified. Do not change them from the values in the eDirectory release.
