Description

Option and Syntax

Specifies that the optional product RPMs such as man pages
and documentation need not be installed.

-nooptionalpkgs

Bypass starting VCS after completing installation and
configuration.

-nostart

Specifies that pkg_path contains all RPMs that the installvcs
program is about to install on all systems. The pkg_path is
the complete path of a directory, usually NFS mounted.

-pkgpath pkg_path

Verify that systems meet the installation requirements before
proceeding with VCS installation.

Symantec recommends doing a precheck before installing
VCS.

See

“Performing automated pre-installation check”

on page 49.

-precheck

Displays all required VCS packages in correct installation
order. Optional packages are not listed. Output can be used
to create scripts for command line installs, or for installations
over a network. See installpkgs option.

-requiredpkgs

Perform automated VCS installation using the system and the
configuration information that is stored in a specified file
instead of prompting for information.

The response_file must be a full path name. If not specified,
the response file is automatically generated as
installerernumber.response where number is random. You
must edit the response file to use it for subsequent
installations. Variable field definitions are defined within the
file.

The -enckeyfile option and encryption_key_file name are

required with the -responsefile option when the response

file contains encrypted passwords.

See

“Installing VCS with a response file where ssh or rsh are

disabled”

on page 171.

See

“Performing automated VCS installations”

on page 164.
