-enckeyfile encryption_key_file 

See the -responsefile and the -encrypt options. 

-encrypt password 

Encrypt password using the encryption key provided with the -enckeyfile option so that the encrypted password can be stored in response files. 

-installonly 

Install product packages on systems without configuring VCS. 

See "Installing VCS using installonly option" on page 91. 

-installpkgs 

Display VCS packages in correct installation order. Output can be used to create scripts for command line installs, or for installations over a network. See the requiredpkgs option. 

-keyfile ssh_key_file 

Specifies a key file for SSH. The option passes -i ssh_key_file with each SSH invocation. 

-license 

Register or update product licenses on the specified systems. Useful for replacing demo license. 

-logpath log_path 

Specifies that log_path, not /opt/VRTS/install/logs, is the location where installvcs log files, summary file, and response file are saved. 

-noextrapkgs 

Specifies that additional product packages such as VxVM and VxFS need not be installed.  

  Note   VCS product upgrades in the future can be simplified if you do not install additional product packages.

-nolic 

Install product packages on systems without licensing or configuration. License-based features or variants are not installed when using this option.  

-nooptionalpkgs 

Specifies that the optional product packages such as man pages and documentation need not be installed. 

-nostart 

Bypass starting VCS after completing installation and configuration. 

-patchpath patch_path 

Specifies that patch_path contains all patches to be installed by installvcs program on all systems; patch_path is the complete path of a directory. 

  Note   You can use this option when you download recent versions of patches.

-pkgpath pkg_path 

Specifies that pkg_path contains all packages to be installed by installvcs program on all systems; pkg_path is the complete path of a directory, usually NFS mounted. 

-precheck 

Verify that systems meet the installation requirements before proceeding with VCS installation. 

Symantec recommends doing a precheck before installing VCS. 

See "Checking the systems for installation" on page 65. 

-requiredpkgs 

Displays all required VCS packages in correct installation order. Optional packages are not listed. Output can be used to create scripts for command line installs, or for installations over a network. See installpkgs option. 

-responsefile response_file [-enckeyfile encryption_key_file] 

Perform automated VCS installation using system and configuration information stored in a specified file instead of prompting for information.  

The response_file must be a full path name. If not specified, the response file is automatically generated as installerernumber.response where number is random. You must edit the response file to use it for subsequent installations. Variable field definitions are defined within the file. 

The -enckeyfile option and encryption_key_file name are required with the -responsefile option when the response file contains encrypted passwords. 

See "Performing VCS installation in a secure environment" on page 92. 

See "Performing automated installations" on page 93. 

-rootpath root_path 

Specifies that root_path is the root location for the installation of all packages. 

On Solaris, -rootpath passes -I root_path to pkgadd command. 

-rsh 

Specifies that rsh and rcp are to be used for communication between systems instead of ssh and scp. This option requires that systems be pre-configured such that rsh commands between systems execute without prompting for passwords or confirmations

See "Symantec Product Authentication Service" on page 22.
