3.6.7.3 Sample setup files

This section provides examples of setup files, one for a custom installation and one for a typical setup. These can be used as templates for silent setup. If you have many Directory Server instances to set up, when you create the first instance, you can run the setup script interactively with the -koption, which saves the setup file after the installation. You can then use variations of this setup file for silent set up of subsequent instances, defining a unique instance name and port number for each run (and if setting up Directory Server on another system, defining the host name).
