Response file variable definitions

Note that some optional variables make it necessary to define other optional variables. For example, all the variables that are related to the cluster service group (CSGNIC, CSGVIP, and CSGNETMASK) must be defined if any are defined. The same is true for the SMTP notification (SMTPSERVER, SMTPRECP, and SMTPRSEV), the SNMP trap notification (SNMPPORT, SNMPCONS, and SNMPCSEV), and the Global Cluster Option (GCONIC, GCOVIP, and GCONETMASK).

Table: Response file variables lists the variables that the response file uses and the variable definitions.
