Performing a silent installation

Last Updated : Oct 01, 2021 |

About this task

Use this procedure to perform a silent installation of the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway server.

The silent installation consists of configuring most of the settings in a properties file, instead of using the installation and the configuration menu for every item.

The properties file is called installation.properties. It contains the same settings that you configure during the interactive installation. The settings are grouped, and the file contains comments that describe the settings.

Note:
The properties file does not contain settings for the following elements:

  • The Avaya Aura® Web Gateway cluster

  • The SSH RSA configuration

You must configure these settings using the configuration utility after the silent installation is complete.

If errors occur after the installation, you can use the configuration utility to re-configure some of the settings.

Procedure

  1. From the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway binary file, extract the template file. 
    ./csa-<version>.bin --tar xf -- ./installation.properties
  2. Configure the settings in the installation.properties file.

    The settings are the same as the interactive installation. For more information about the settings, see Avaya Aura Web Gateway initial configuration settings.

    You can leave some of the settings blank and then configure them manually after the installation is complete.

  3. Run the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway binary with a parameter that represents the full path to the properties file.
    For example: 
    app install /home/avaya/installation.properties
  4. Optional To start the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway service, run the following command: 
    svc csa start
  5. Manually configure the remaining items.

    When possible, use the web administration portal to modify configuration settings instead of the configuration utility. For more information about using the web administration portal, see Administering the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway.
