Interactive or non-interactive installation

There are two ways to install Advanced Server for UNIX:

1. Select

interactive

if the required data is to be input during installation. This is the recom-

mended installation mode for installations via

cdinst

.

2. Select

non-interactive

if the required data is to be input before installation, but if the

default configuration should not be used. The input entered before installation will be
stored in a response file that can be used for installations with no user interaction. This
installation mode is only used for special configurations and it is not described here.

You can start the

non-interactive

installation with a default configuration. With this instal-

lation type, no further input is required before and during installation. Using this method, the
server is always installed as a primary domain controller in it’s own domain. For further
information, please refer to the section

“Installing with the default configuration”

.

The steps for interactive installation are presented on the following pages.

Normally you will choose this installation.

Output language

The

output language

configuration is used to specify the output language of the UNIX

commands

net

and

elfread

and of the Windows Administrative Tool

EventViewer

.

The

output language

does not affect the builtin names of Advanced Server for UNIX objects

as

domain language

does (see below).

The

output language

has to be specified during all installation types.

Please refer to the chapter entitled

“Administration guidelines”

for further information on

how to change the output language after installation.

Interface name of the spooler used by the server

Establish which spooler your system will use and specify this during installation.

Check whether the spooler you are going to specify has been configured in UNIX and is
started.

If the spooler has not been started during installation, you will receive a warning message.

The spooler has to be configured during all installation types.

During installation of the server software, the printer devices

lmxnul

and

lmxnone

are created

for internal use.

These printer devices cannot be deleted and cannot be used for printing from the

UNIX shell.
