Performing a headless installation on Windows

and UNIX systems

To perform a headless installation through the CLI, download the software (refer to

“Downloading

the software”

on page 8).

For Windows systems, open a Command Prompt and execute this command:

install.exe -i silent -DUSER_INSTALL_DIR="C:\Program Files\Network

Advisor12.3.x" -DHEADLESS_CONFIG_MODE="false”

For UNIX systems, open a UNIX shell and execute this command:

sh install.bin -i silent

-DUSER_INSTALL_DIR="/opt/Network_Advisor12_3_X"

-DHEADLESS_CONFIG_MODE="false”

The application installs in silent mode using default settings.

To configure the application, refer to one of the following sections:

If this is a fresh installation, refer to

“Network Advisor Configuration”

on page 15.

If you are upgrading from a previous version and need to migrate data, refer to

“Data

Migration”

on page 39.

Troubleshooting the Linux headless installation

If you have completed all of the pre-Installation requirements and you are still unable to install the
application, run the following commands on the host.

1. Go to Install_Home/ (the directory containing install.bin).

2. Execute

strace -f -F -v -s 1024 -o NetworkAdvisorinstall.txt ./install.bin

.

3. Execute

rpm -qa >> system.txt

.

4. Execute

ps -elf >> system.txt.

5. Execute

md5sum install.bin >> system.txt

.

6. Execute

df -k >> system.txt

.

7. Execute

sh -c "xterm -e echo nothing >> system.txt 2>&1".

8. Execute

env >> system.txt

.

9. Execute

sh -c "DISPLAY=:0.0 xterm -e echo nothing >> system.txt 2>&1"

.

10. Execute

zip support1.zip NetworkAdvisorinstall.txt system.txt

.

Send the support1.zip file output from the above (containing install.txt and system.txt) to
Technical Support. This file will help Technical Support isolate the issue.
