-requiredpkgs

order. Optional packages are not listed. Output can be used

 

to create scripts for command line installs, or for installations

 

over a network. See installpkgs option.

-responsefileresponse_file [-enckeyfileencryption_key_file]

Perform automated VCS installation using the system and the configuration information that is stored in a specified file instead of prompting for information.

The response_file must be a full path name. If not specified, the response file is automatically generated as installerernumber.response where number is random. You must edit the response file to use it for subsequent installations. Variable field definitions are defined within the file.

The -enckeyfileoption and encryption_key_file name are required with the -responsefileoption when the response file contains encrypted passwords.

See “Installing VCS with a response file where ssh or rsh are disabled” on page 171.

See “Performing automated VCS installations” on page 164.
