Preparations for Installing HDLM by Performing an Unattended
Installation
An unattended installation allows a user to install HDLM without having to
enter information into dialog boxes or specify HDLM functions. Instead, the
user defines the required information for the dialog boxes in an installation-
information settings file prior to running the installation. The procedure for an
unattended installation is as follows:
1
Specify the required information for the installation in the installation-
.
information settings file.
2
Execute the installhdlm utility.
.
3
Information will be automatically entered into the dialog boxes or HDLM
.
functions, as defined in the installation-information settings file.
4
The installation will finish and log data will be output, showing the status
.
and result of the installation.
