Scripted installation

You can perform a scripted installation with the LDU using the --inputfile parameter. The syntax for this command is:

./install???.sh --inputfile test.in

In this example, the test.in file is the input file used to drive the scripted installation.

The format of the input file is:

parm=value

The following table lists the parameters supported by the input file.

Parameter

Description

LSPOPTIONS

This parameter enables you to pass normal command line options (such as --silent, --nui,--reboot, and so on) as input to the LDU.

LOGFILENAME

This parameter enables you to set the name of the log file generated by the LDU to something other than the default of /var/log/hppldu.log. The path must already exist or the log file will remain the default file name.

HPVCAVCRMSERVER

This parameter informs the VCA of the name of the VCRM to use as a software distribution repository.

HPVCAVCRMLOGINID

This parameter is the login ID that the VCA uses to communicate with the VCRM.

HPVCAVCRMLOGINPASSWD

This parameter is the password for the login ID specified in the HPVCAVCRMLOGINID parameter.

ADMIN-GROUP

This parameter is used by the HP Systems Management Homepage (hpsmh) to set up security for the web server. The parameter is a list of up to five Linux groups, separated by spaces or semicolons, to enable administrative access to the web server.

USER-GROUP

This parameter is used by the HP Systems Management Homepage to set up security for the web server. The parameter is a list of up to five Linux groups, separated by spaces or semicolons, to enable user-level access to the web services.

OPERATOR-GROUP

This parameter is used by the HP Systems Management Homepage to set up security for the web server. The parameter is a list of up to five Linux groups, separated by spaces or semicolons, to enable operator-level access to the web services.

ANONYMOUS-ACCESS

This parameter determines whether an anonymous user can access the HP Systems Management Homepage. Accepted values are "yes" and "no." The default value is "no."

IP-BINDING

This parameter is used by the HP Systems Management Homepage to determine whether hpsmh can use all available NICs and detected subnets for its web services. Accepted values are "yes" and "no." The default value is "no."

IP-BINDING-LIST

This parameter is used by the HP Systems Management Homepage to restrict the NICs and subnets to use for its web services. The IP-BINDING parameter must be set to "yes" for this parameter to be used during installation. The list format is a list of IP address/NetMask pairs separated by semicolons (for example, 10.1.1.1/255.255.255.0; 10.2.2.2/255.255.255.0).

IP-RESTRICTED-LOGINS

This parameter is used by the HP Systems Management Homepage to restrict login access. The accepted values are "yes" and "no." The default value is "no." To enable restrictions on who can log in to the web server, this parameter must be set to "yes," and values must be provided to the IP-RESTRICTED-EXCLUDE or IP-RESTRICTED-INCLUDE parameters.

IP-RESTRICTED-EXCLUDE

This parameter is used by the HP Systems Management Homepage to exclude specific IP address/NetMask pairs from logging into the web services. The format of this parameter is a list of IP address ranges separated by semicolons (for example, 10.1.1.1-10.1.1.10; 10.2.2.2-10.2.2.10). This parameter is ignored unless the IP-RESTRICTED-LOGINS parameter is set to "yes."

IP-RESTRICTED-INCLUDE

This parameter is used by the HP Systems Management Homepage to enable login only from the IP address/NetMask pairs specified. The format of this parameter is a list of IP address ranges separated by semicolons (for example, 10.1.1.1-10.1.1.10; 10.2.2.2-10.2.2.10). This parameter is ignored unless the IP-RESTRICTED-LOGINS parameter is set to "yes."

LOCALACCESS-ENABLED

This parameter is used by the HP Systems Management Homepage to determine whether to enable local anonymous access to the web services. Accepted values are "yes" and "no." The default value is "yes" to enable anonymous access.

LOCALACCESS-TYPE

This parameter is used by the HP Systems Management Homepage to determine the type of access granted to local users. Accepted values are "Anonymous" and "Administrator." The default value is "Anonymous."

CAUTION: Selecting local access with administrator privileges as the login provides full access to any user with access to the local console, without prompting for a user name or password.

TRUSTMODE

This parameter is used by the HP Systems Management Homepage to set up the trust relationship mode. Accepted values are

  • TrustByCert—If this value is used, the CERTLIST parameter must be defined to enable access to the server.
  • TrustByName—If this value is used, the XENAMELIST parameter must be defined.
  • TrustByAll—HP does not recommend using this value because of possible negative security consequences.

    The accepted values are case-sensitive and must be capitalized as shown. Failure to do so prevents the trust relationship from being set up properly during installation and might affect access to the web server.

CERTLIST

This parameter enables a user to provide a list of certificate files or servers where certificates can be obtained for trust relationships for the HP Systems Management Homepage. This parameter is only valid if the TRUSTMODE parameter is set to TrustByCert.

XENAMELIST

This parameter enables a user to provide a list of servers, separated by semicolons, for trust relationships for the HP Systems Management Homepage. This parameter is only valid if the TRUSTMODE parameter is set to TrustByName.

HPQLA2X00FO

This parameter is used by the hp_qla2x00 Qlogic Fibre Channel Driver to determine the failover mode to use. Accepted values are "SinglePath," "SecurePath," and "QLogicFailover." There is no default value.

HPQLA2X00FORCE

This parameter is used by the hp_qla2x00 QLogic Fibre Channel Driver to determine whether to skip detection of third-party storage. Accepted values are "Y" or "N." The default value is "N."
