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.
