Installing Storage Foundation using response files

Typically, you can use the response file that the installer generates after you perform Storage Foundation installation on one cluster to install Storage Foundation on other clusters. You can also create a response file using the -makeresponsefile option of the installer.

To install Storage Foundation using response files

  1. Make sure the systems where you want to install Storage Foundation meet the installation requirements.

  2. Make sure the preinstallation tasks are completed.

  3. Copy the response file to one of the cluster systems where you want to install Storage Foundation.

  4. Edit the values of the response file variables as necessary.

  5. Mount the product disc and navigate to the folder that contains the installation program.

  6. Start the installation from the system to which you copied the response file. For example:

    # ./installer -responsefile /tmp/response_file
    # ./installsf -responsefile /tmp/response_file

    Where /tmp/response_file is the response file's full path name.
