When you have edited the silent.properties file to include the installation of all of the components and the accompanying configuration values for those components, you are ready to run the installation program.
Use the following steps to complete the installation:
Copy the edited silent.properties file to the /root directory of the server where you intend to run the silent installation.
Insert the ZENworks 7 Desktop Management Services on Linux CD in the CD drive of the Linux server where you want to install ZENworks.
From the terminal console, use the su command to switch to the root user.
Run mount /CD_mount_point to mount the ZENworks 7 Desktop Management Services on Linux CD.
Change to the CD mount point, then enter the following command:
./setup -f /root/silent.properties
NOTE:The path to the silent.properties file must be a complete path, beginning with a forward slash ( / ).
The installation program runs, copying the appropriate files and configuring the ZENworks components according to the information you have provided in silent.properties. The Pre-file-copy Verification section of silent.properties checks each of the values you provided for validity. The installation stops if any value is invalid.
The program checks the Post-file-copy verification section of silent.properties for validity after the files are copied. If there is an incorrect value in this section, an error is logged to the InstallAnywhere log file located at /var/log/ZENworks_Desktop_Management_InstallLog.log, but the installation continues.
You can use the novell-zdm-configure utility to correct any errors than are encountered. For more information, see Section 24.2, Configuring or Reconfiguring Installed ZENworks Processes Running on Linux.
