Running a Silent Installation | Trend Micro Service Central

Views:

Silent SMD installation minimizes the number of installation steps, which simplifies installation. The script file, which is in a *.txt format, provides the required information necessary to complete an SMD installation.

Before you begin this installation process, do the following:

Ensure that the required hardware and software components are in place and working. Refer to the hardware and software requirements for your platform as mentioned in the following table:

Platform

Table Titles and Location

Windows

Refer to SMD for Microsoft Windows.

Linux

Refer to SMD for Linux.
Ensure that the Domino server is stopped and all other Notes applications are closed; otherwise, you may corrupt shared files, and Setup may not run properly.

Platform	Table Titles and Location
Windows	Refer to SMD for Microsoft Windows.
Linux	Refer to SMD for Linux.

Prepare an installation script.

Use an installation script (that is, an answer or script file) to record a previous SMD installation and automate SMD installation on all the servers where you want to install SMD. Alternatively, use an installation script to customize the type of SMD setup or to specify options to install on the Domino server.

Note

Silent installation supports fresh SMD installation as well as upgrade to version 5.8 SP1. However, it will only install or upgrade SMD on the servers specified in the record script. If you want to do silent installation where a previous version of SMD is installed, make sure to add all the servers' information in the script file.
