3. Creating an HDLM Environment
93
(1) How to Create an Installation-Information Settings File
For an installation-information settings file, you need to define the license key file
name, installation destination folder, and then any other information that is required for
the particular installation.
HDLM provides a sample file in order to simplify the editing process of an
installation-information settings file. The sample file is located on the supplied DVD.
To edit the installation-information settings file:
1.
Copy the sample file for the installation-information settings file to any folder.
The location of the sample file is as follows:
drive-to-which-the-installation-DVD-is-inserted
:\HDLM_Windows\DLMTools
\sample_installhdlm.ini
2. Use a text editor to edit the sample file that was copied in step 1, in order to create
an installation-information settings file for your particular configuration.
Items that need to be defined in the installation-information settings file are
described in 7.7.3 Contents of an Installation-Information Settings File below.
(2) Notes on an Unattended Installation
• Do not forcibly stop the execution of the
installhdlm
utility during an
unattended installation of HDLM. Even if you forcibly stop the execution of the
installhdlm
utility, the HDLM installation will not be stopped. If you have
specified
y
for the
restart
key in the installation-information settings file, the
computer will restart after the installation finishes successfully. Make sure that
you check the results of the installation in
installhdlm.log
, if you had to
forcibly stop the execution of the
installhdlm
utility.
• The disk capacity necessary for the execution of the
installhdlm
utility is as
follows:
A folder specified in the
workdir
key (if the
workdir
key has not been
specified, a folder specified in the TMP or TEMP environment variable) must
have at least 20 KB of free disk capacity.
• Information for the HDLM operation can also be specified by using the HDLM
command's
set
operation. To specify the information by using this way, see
3.7 Setting Up HDLM and make sure that an untended installation is completed.
For details about what can be defined in a installation-information settings file,
see 7.7.3 Contents of an Installation-Information Settings File.
For details about the
set
operation of the HDLM command, see 6.6 set (Sets Up
the Operating Environment).
