Install Hardware Management Pack Components Using Silent Mode

Note:

Starting with Oracle Hardware Management Pack 2.4.9.0, the only installation option available is a manual installation. For information on how to manually install Oracle Hardware Management Pack, see Installing the Software Manually.

To install Management Pack components with Oracle Hardware Management Pack Installer, you must be logged in to your system with administrative privileges.
Before installing Oracle Hardware Management Pack, refer to the Prerequisites section for information pertaining to your installed OS.
Download and extract the Hardware Management Pack Software. See Getting the Software.

The directory where you extract the files is referred to as extract-directory in this procedure.
The packages for Hardware Management Pack have dependencies that must be satisfied for a successful installation. See Software Dependencies for more information.
On the Oracle Solaris OS, due to the restrictions of pkgadd(1M), the path that you extract the Hardware Management Pack to must not contain any spaces for the installation process to proceed.
Refer to Silent Mode Installation Options before performing the installation.

To start the silent mode installation process, use one of the following commands:
- For Oracle Solaris 10 or Linux systems:
  - To perform a typical silent installation:
    
    # /extract-directory/oracle-hmp-version/install.bin -i silent
  - To perform an installation directed by a properties file:
    
    # /extract-directory/oracle-hmp-version/install.bin -i silent -f /path/filename.properties
    
    where path can be either an absolute path or a path relative to the location of the properties file.
- For Oracle Solaris 11 or 11.1 systems:
  - To perform a typical silent installation:
    
    # /extract-directory/oracle-hmp-version/install.arch.bin -i silent
    
    where arch is SPARC or x86 depending on your processor.
  - To perform an installation directed by a properties file:
    
    # /extract-directory/oracle-hmp-version/install.arch.bin -i silent -f /path/filename.properties
    
    where arch is SPARC or x86 depending on your processor and path can be either an absolute path or a path relative to the location of the properties file.
Note:

On a server without SNMP configured, Management Agents is not installed. On a server with a previous version of Management Pack installed, the software is upgraded.

(Optional) To verify that Oracle Hardware Management Pack is installed correctly, run a command. For example, enter the following CLI command as root:

# ilomconfig --version

If it is installed correctly, Oracle Hardware Management Pack displays version information.
