15.3.4.3. Unattended Unix and Mac OS X Installation

For unattended installation on Unix, create an option file named options.server.txt. The following is an example of what the contents of an option file might be for installation on Unix. 

debugtrace=/opt/mysql/enterprise/install.debugtrace.monitor.log
mode=unattended
installdir=/opt/mysql/enterprise/monitor
tomcatport=8080
tomcatshutdownport=8005
tomcatsslport=8443
adminpassword=myadminpassword
dbport=3300

This file identifies a directory and file name for a log file, sets the mode to unattended, and uses the installdir option to specify an installation directory. The meaning of the other options is fairly self-evident.

Note

Set the installdir and debugtrace options to values appropriate to your locale and operating system.

The only options that must be specified in an option file when installing the MySQL Enterprise Service Manager are mode (if not specified at the command line), installdir, and adminpassword.

Check the options in your option file closely before installation; no warnings will be issued if there are errors.

Ensure that the monitor installer file and the options file are in the same directory and, if you saved the options file as options.server.txt, you can invoke an unattended installation from the command line by typing: 

  shell> mysqlmonitor-version-installer.bin --optionfile options.server.txt

You can install the MySQL Enterprise Monitor Agent in exactly the same fashion. Create an agent option file and call the agent installer using the optionfile option.

As a minimum for the agent installation, you must specify the mode (if not specified at the command line), mysqluser, installdir, mysqlpassword, and agentpassword options. Create a file containing these values and use it with the optionfile option for unattended agent installation.

If you wish, you can create one script that calls both the Service Manager and the Monitor Agent programs passing appropriate optionfile options.

Note

The Service Manager does not automatically start up on rebooting. For more information, see Bug#31676.

The procedure for unattended agent installation under Mac OS X is identical to the procedure under Unix.
