You can create a new response file, or edit one from a previous server
installation.
NOTE:
You should take care when using a response file from a previous
installation because it can contain advanced configuration options you don't want
for your current installation.
1
Open an ASCII editor such as EDIT.
2
Input parameters as described in
You can generate a response file from a server installation or upgrade, and then
use it as input for additional server installations or upgrades. Using the
response file from another server installation works best when both servers
have the same hardware configurations.
1
Perform the first server installation, and then reboot the server by clicking
Yes on the closing screen of the installation.
2
Log in to the new server after it has been rebooted.
