Use Existing Images to Install Products or Create Images Faster
To perform the tasks below, specify the indicated parameters before the -console parameter on the command you run to start the installer.
To install products faster, specify the
-existingImages parameter on the command. For example:
java -jar SoftwareAGInstaller201604.{jar|zip}
-existingImages existing_image_files -console
To create images faster, specify the
-existingImages,
-writeImage, and
-imagePlatform parameters on the command. For example:
java -jar SoftwareAGInstaller201604.{jar|zip}
-existingImages existing_image_files -writeImage -imagePlatform -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. |
