Attended Installation

To perform an attended installation:

1. Access the installer script as described in Obtaining the Installer Script section.
2. Run the installer script by typing the following command at the prompt. 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>

Examples

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

python ensim-installer.py -n admin -p passwd -m example1@example.com

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 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.
