Headless installation
1
Performing a headless installation on Windows
and UNIX systems
To perform a headless installation through the CLI, download the software (refer to “Downloading
the software” on page 8).
• For Windows systems, complete the following steps:
1. Select Start > Programs > Accessories, right-click Command Prompt and select Run as
administrator.
2. Execute this command:
install.exe -i silent -DHEADLESS_CONFIG_MODE="false”
• For UNIX systems, open a UNIX shell and execute this command:
sh install.bin -i silent -DHEADLESS_CONFIG_MODE="false”
The application installs in silent mode using default settings.
To configure the application, refer to one of the following sections:
• If this is a fresh installation, refer to “Network Advisor Configuration” on page 17.
• If you are upgrading from a previous version and need to migrate data, refer to “Data
Migration” on page 45.
Troubleshooting the Linux headless installation
If you have completed all of the pre-Installation requirements and you are still unable to install the
application, run the following commands on the host.
1. Go to Install_Home/ (the directory containing install.bin).
2. Execute strace -f -F -v -s 1024 -o NetworkAdvisorinstall.txt ./install.bin.
3. Execute rpm -qa >> system.txt.
4. Execute ps -elf >> system.txt.
5. Execute md5sum install.bin >> system.txt.
6. Execute df -k >> system.txt.
7. Execute sh -c "xterm -e echo nothing >> system.txt 2>&1".
8. Execute env >> system.txt.
9. Execute sh -c "DISPLAY=:0.0 xterm -e echo nothing >> system.txt 2>&1".
10. Execute zip support1.zip NetworkAdvisorinstall.txt system.txt.
Send the support1.zip file output from the above (containing install.txt and system.txt) to
Technical Support. This file will help Technical Support isolate the issue.
