Installing Advanced Server for UNIX Installing server software (asxserver package)

Interactive or non-interactive installation

There are two ways to install Advanced Server for UNIX:

1.Select interactive if the required data is to be input during installation. This is the recom- mended installation mode for installations via cdinst.

2.Select non-interactiveif the required data is to be input before installation, but if the default configuration should not be used. The input entered before installation will be stored in a response file that can be used for installations with no user interaction. This installation mode is only used for special configurations and it is not described here.

You can start the non-interactiveinstallation with a default configuration. With this instal- lation type, no further input is required before and during installation. Using this method, the server is always installed as a primary domain controller in it’s own domain. For further information, please refer to the section “Installing with the default configuration” .

The steps for interactive installation are presented on the following pages.

Normally you will choose this installation.

Output language

The output language configuration is used to specify the output language of the UNIX commands net and elfread and of the Windows Administrative Tool EventViewer.

The output language does not affect the builtin names of Advanced Server for UNIX objects as domain language does (see below).

The output language has to be specified during all installation types.

Please refer to the chapter entitled “Administration guidelines” for further information on how to change the output language after installation.

Interface name of the spooler used by the server

Establish which spooler your system will use and specify this during installation.

Check whether the spooler you are going to specify has been configured in UNIX and is started.

If the spooler has not been started during installation, you will receive a warning message.

The spooler has to be configured during all installation types.

During installation of the server software, the printer devices lmxnul and lmxnone are created for internal use.

i

These printer devices cannot be deleted and cannot be used for printing from the UNIX shell.
