Response file variable definitions

Response file variables lists the variables used in the response file and their definitions. Note that while some variables are labeled as required and others as optional, some of the optional variables, if used, make it necessary to define other optional variables. For example, all variables 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), SNMP trap notification (SNMPPORT, SNMPCONS, and SNMPCSEV), and the Global Cluster Option (CGONIC, GCOVIP, and GCONETMASK).
