CSRC Installation Command Line

This appendix provides information about the command line used to install the CSRC software packages and the response file.

The pkgadd Command Line

You use the pkgadd utility to install one or more of the CSRC software packages. The pkgadd utility installs only the packages you indicate in the command line. The order in which you install the CSRC packages is important. You must install the CSRC packages in a specific order (see the "CSRC Installation Requirements" section).

For example, to install the first CSCOcsrcd package from the distribution CD-ROM, enter the following command line:

pkgadd -d /cdrom/csrc_1_0/CSRC/Solaris [-r response-file] CSCOcsrcd

To install all of the CSRC software packages on the same host, use the following command line, taking care to enter the CSRC packages in the required order:

pkgadd -d /cdrom/csrc_1_0/CSRC/Solaris [-r response-file] CSCOcsrcd CSCOcsrcn CSCOcsrcw CSCOcsrcu

For information on the [-r response-file] argument, see the following section.

The Response File

A response file contains the values for parameters required to install the CSRC packages. When you invoke the pkgadd utility with the -r response-file argument, the installer reads the response file you indicate in the command line and uses the values in the file instead of prompting you for the required information.

You can create a response file automatically when you install a CSRC package, such as CSCOcsrcd (the first CSRC software package that you must install). You cannot specify multiple CSRC packages on the pkgadd command line when you use the -r response-file argument.

After you invoke pkgadd with the -r response-file argument specified, the installer displays the following prompt:

Prompt for all CSRC installation parameters now? [no]:

If you enter yes, the installer prompts you for all of the parameters required to install each CSRC package and saves the values you provide in the /tmp/csrc_install_defaults file. After installation completes, you can install additional CSRC packages using the -r/tmp/csrc_install_defaults argument in the command line. The installer reads the information in the /tmp/csrc_install_defaults file instead of prompting you for it.

If you enter no at the prompt, the installer only prompts you for the parameters needed to install the package you indicated in the pdgadd command line, or that you selected from the menu the installer displayed.

If you install the CSRC software packages on multiple hosts, you can copy the /tmp/csrc_install_defaults file to each host and use the response file to install the CSRC packages.
