7.5.3Install the Shutdown Module in silent mode

In addition to Network Shutdown Module installation in standard mode where the user configures the parameters during the installation, it is possible to install Network Shutdown Module in silent mode i.e. with no user interaction.

Follow these steps to install Network Shutdown Module in silent mode:

ωMake sure you have administrator rights.

ωBuild a customized package with specific parameters (ex: The Network Management Card IP address, the events and actions …).

ωCopy this package to the “target” machine in your chosen directory.

ω(Linux) If necessary execute the command: chmod 755 nsm_linux_xx_3_xx_xx.run

ωTo start the installation procedure, run the command:

to validate silent mode for Windows. to validate silent mode for Unix.

ωThe installed software is automatically started. It is possible to test Network Shutdown Module.

Example of secured deployment script for Linux:

We use ssh to copy the package on several machines and then execute it.

The script iterates on the machine names.

#!/bin/sh

#Notes :

#- Actions to be performed under root account

#- The target.list file contains the target machine names (1 per line)

#- All theses machines must accept automatic ssh connection.

#- It must be authorized with a key generation on the master

#(machine that executes the script) using "ssh-keygen -t rsa2",

#- Then copy the file ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to the target machines

#- and add its content into the file ~/.ssh/known_hosts, ie

#"cat id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts"

for i in `cat target.list` do

echo "Network Shutdown Module Installation on machine $i" scp nsmlinuxv3xxx.run $i:/tmp

ssh $i /tmp/nsmlinuxv3xxx.run –install -silent

done
