Use Existing Images to Install Products or Create Images Faster
To install products faster, specify the
-existingImages parameter before the
-console parameter on the command you run to start the installer. For example:
sh SoftwareAGInstalleryyyymm-operating_system.bin
-existingImages existing_image_files -console
To create images faster, specify the
-existingImages,
-writeImage, and
-imagePlatform parameters before the
-console parameter on the command you run to start the installer. For example:
sh SoftwareAGInstalleryyyymm-operating_system.bin
-existingImages existing_image_files
-writeImage full_path_to_image_file
-imagePlatform operating_system -console
For existing_image_files , specify existing images that contain the products you want, as described below. It does not matter which operating systems the images were created for.
You can specify full paths to image files. For example:
-existingImages /opt/myImages/IS_HPUX.zip,/opt/myImages/Designer_Solaris.zip
You can specify directories that contain image files. For example:
-existingImages /opt/myImages/MyImages
You can list image files in a text file. For example:
/opt/myImages/IS_HPUX.zip
/opt/myImages/Designer_Solaris.zip
/opt/myImages/MwS_Windows.zip
Then specify the file. For example:
-existingImages /opt/listofimages.txt
Note:
If you specify files that are not image files, the installer ignores them.
