After an installation source directory has been created, use a response file and the
Netfinity Manager installation program command-line parameters. The Netfinity
Manager installation program supports the following command-line parameters:
/R: drive+path+filename
/S: drive+path
/T: drive
/TU: drive+path
Note: For information on how to use a CID-enabled software distribution
manager, refer to the publications provided with the individual CID-enabled
product.
Customized installation
For security reasons, not all users might need to have access to all services. User
access can be restricted by creating a customized installation that will prevent
some services from being installed.
To create a customized installation, the INSTALL.INI file must be edited. For
example, when creating a customized Netfinity Manager for Windows 95 or NT
installation, edit the INSTALL.INI file that is found on Netfinity Manager directory.
The INSTALL.INI file has three sections, separated by the line
[==]
The first section contains the installation configuration that can be selected during
installation. There can be no more than eight choices. Each choice takes up two
lines. The first line is the text that is displayed next to the installation configuration
radio button. The second line is a list of the options in the third section that will be
installed when this choice is selected for installation.
For example:
;IBM SysMgt Install Script, Version 2 (Do not remove this comment line)
Netfinity Manager Installation [Manager 16900]
Advanced System Management Support [ServProc 450]
Specifies the drive, path, and file name of the response file. See the
NETFBASE.RSP file (located in the directory in which Netfinity
Manager was installed) for an example of a response file with
comments on the included parameters.
Specifies the drive and path to install from. This is the directory to
which the files were copied.
Specifies the drive to install to. Default is the current startup drive.
Specifies the drive and path of the CONFIG.SYS file to update. The
default is to change the CONFIG.SYS in the root directory of the
drive specified in the /T parameter (or the startup drive). This
parameter is ignored if the ChangeConfig parameter in the response
file is FALSE.
For example, the line:
NETFINST /R:NETFBASE.RSP /S:Y:\NETFIN
/T:C /TU:D:\
will install Netfinity Manager, using the options in the response
file NETFBASE.RSP, from the directory Y:\NETFIN, to drive C: (the
directory to which the files are installed is taken from the response
file), and will modify the CONFIG.SYS file in the D:\ directory.
