Silent installation
Install VirusScan Enterprise for Linux in silent mode.
Before you begin
•
Before installing VirusScan Enterprise for Linux, make sure that there is no user as
"nails" and no group as "nailsgroup" in the computer.
•
Before installing VirusScan Enterprise for Linux, you must have McAfee Runtime and
McAfee Agent already installed on the computer.
•
Create a file "nails.options" in the root home (/root) directory.
For example:
SILENT_ACCEPTED_EULA=”yes”
SILENT_INSTALLDIR=”/opt/NAI/LinuxShield”
SILENT_RUNTIMEDIR=”/var/opt/NAI/LinuxShield”
SILENT_ADMIN=”admin@example.com”
SILENT_HTTPHOST=”0.0.0.0”
SILENT_HTTPPORT=”55443”
SILENT_MONITORPORT=”65443”
SILENT_SMTPHOST=”0.0.0.0”
SILENT_SMTPPORT=”25”
SILENT_NAILS_USER=”nails”
SILENT_NAILS_GROUP=”nailsgroup”
SILENT_CREATE_USER=”yes”
SILENT_CREATE_GROUP=”yes”
SILENT_RUN_WITH_MONITOR=”yes”
SILENT_QUARANTINEDIR=”/quarantine”
SILENT_START_PROCESSES=”yes”
SILENT_CONTINUE_INSTALL_ON_PAM_ERROR=”no”
Use SILENT_CONTINUE_INSTALL_ON_PAM_ERROR only when 32‑bit PAM libraries are
not present.
If you set this flag to yes and continue without Pluggable Authentication
Module (PAM) libraries, the installation of VirusScan Enterprise for Linux
monitor component is skipped, and the web interface will not be available.
However, you can still manage the VirusScan Enterprise for Linux host using
ePolicy Orchestrator or the web interface of some other VirusScan Enterprise
for Linux host. See information about Configuring VirusScan Enterprise for
Linux in the Product Guide.
