Unattended Installation

To perform an unattended installation:

1. Access the installer script as described in Obtaining the Installer Script section.
2. Run the script with the --assume-yes option. The --assume-yes option sets the value yes to installation queries that require a yes or no response. For key script options, see the command options. Use the --help option with the script to learn more about the various command line options you can use with the script.

python ensim-installer.py -n<admin_username> -p<admin_passwd> 
-m<admin_email> <installation_files_source> <os_update_repository> --assume-yes

Example

In the following example, the command installs Parallels Pro Control Panel on RHEL by obtaining the necessary Parallels Pro Control Panel files from Parallels Pro Control Panel FTP server and the operating system RPMs and updates from RHN.

python ensim-installer.py --assume-yes -nadmin -ppasswd 
-mexample1@example.com --ftp-server=ftp.ensim.com --updater=up2date

The installer begins installation of Parallels Pro Control Panel.

All the services and add-ons provided by Parallels Pro Control Panel are installed. The installation events are recorded in the log file /var/log/ensim/installer.<version>.<release>-<install attempt>.log. If you encounter problems during the installation, refer to the troubleshooting section Troubleshooting Installation or Installer Issues to resolve them. After addressing the issues, you can resume the installation by running the installer at the command prompt. The installer resumes the installation from the point of failure.

Before you use Parallels Pro Control Panel to provision resellers accounts and organizations, you need to complete certain tasks using the Server Administrator control panel. See Next Steps for information.
