2.7.7 Unattended Install and Upgrade to eDirectory 8.8 SP3 on Windows Prerequisites • Ensure Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Runtime Libraries are installed. Install them manually from vcredist_x86.exe, located at eDirectory\nt\i386\redist_pkg. novdocx (en) 11 July 2008 eDirectory 8.8 SP3 automates the eDirectory installation and upgrade so that eDirectory is installed or upgraded silently on Windows servers without human intervention. On Windows, the unattended installation of eDirectory uses predefined text files that facilitate the unattended installation.The following sections discuss various features that can be used to configure the unattended installation, including the install location, no display of splash screens, port configurations, additional NMAS methods, stopping and starting SNMP services, etc. • “Response Files” on page 34 • “Adding Features to the Automated Installation” on page 35 • “Controlling Automated Installation” on page 40 • “Unattended Installation of eDirectory using Response File” on page 43 Response Files Installing or upgrading to eDirectory 8.8 SP3 on Windows operating system can be made silent and more flexible by using a response file for the following: • Complete unattended installation with all required user inputs • Default configuration of components • Bypassing all prompts during the installation A response file is a text file containing sections and keys, similar to a Windows.ini file. You can create and edit a response file using any ASCII text editor. The eDirectory upgrade reads the installation parameters directly from the response file and replaces the default installation values with response file values. The installation program accepts the values from the response file and continues to install without prompts. Response.ni File Sections and Keys The eDirectory 8.8 SP3 installation requires changes to the sections in the response file to add information about the eDirectory instance to be installed, including the tree name, administrator context, administrator credentials (including user name and passwords), installation locations, etc. A full list of the keys and their default values is available in the sample response.ni file that is delivered with the eDirectory installation. NOTE: You should use the provided response.ni file available at eDirectory\nt\i386\NDSonNT\response.ni in the eDirectory installation.There are essential parameters and set by default in this file. When editing the response.ni file, ensure there are no blank spaces between the key and the values along with the equals sign ("=") in each key-value pair. 34 Novell eDirectory 8.8 Installation Guide
Installation Syntax You can also use a response file for two scenarios in an upgrade: • To provide the values of the tree parameters and to configure an unattended installation • To input values during an upgrade novdocx (en) 11 July 2008 IMPORTANT: You provide the administrator user credentials in the response.ni file for an unattended installation. Therefore, you should permanently delete the file after the installation to prevent the administrator credentials from being compromised. Adding Features to the Automated Installation Most details for configuring the eDirectory Installer have default setting for the manual installation. However, during unattended installation, each configuration parameter must be explicitly configured. This section discusses the basic settings to be configured, irrespective of any sequence of installation or additional features. eDirectory Server Details Regardless of whether it is an upgrade or a primary/secondary server installation, the details of the server being installed or upgraded must be provided to the Installer. Most of this information is configured in two tags, [NWI:NDS] and [Initialization]. [NWI:NDS] • Upgrade Mode: This key applies only to a server upgrade. Though not essential, set this parameter to False for fresh installations. For an upgrade, you can either set it to True or to Copy. • Server Context: This is the complete DN of the server object (server name), along with the container object. For example, if the server being installed is 'EDIR-TEST-SERVER', the value for this parameter will be "EDIR-TEST-SERVER.Novell" if the Server container is ‘Novell’. • Tree Name: For a primary server installation, this is the name of the tree that needs to installed; for a secondary server installation, this is the tree to which this server must be added. • Server Name: The name of the server that is being installed. • Server Container: Any server added to a tree has a server object containing all the configuration details specific to the server. This parameter is the container object in the tree to which the server object will be added. For primary server installations, this container will be created with the server object. • Admin Login Name: The name (RDN) of the Administrator object in the tree that has full rights, at least to the context to which this server is added. All operations in the tree will be performed as this user. • Admin Context: Any user added to a tree has a user object that contains all the user-specific details. This parameter is the container object in the tree to which the Administrator object will be added. For primary server installations, this container will be created with the server object. • Admin password: The password for the Administrator object created in the previous parameters. This password will be configured to the Administrator object during primary server installations. For secondary server installations, this needs to be the password of the Administrator object in the primary server that has rights to the context to which the new server is added.
