Selecting the Installation Mode
To activate the silent mode, create the state file and then start the installation program using the
--silent option (./setup --silent state_file). After the silent mode is activated, installation
takes place without additional input. For more information about creating a state file and
installing the Web Server using silent installation, see “Installing in Silent Mode” on page 42.
Selecting the Installation Mode
There are three installation modes: graphical, command-line, and silent. For more information
about each mode, see “Installation Modes” on page 20. The setup command is used to specify
the installation mode. The syntax is as follows:
./setup [--help] [--console] [--silent state_file] [--savestate] [--javahome
java_dir] [--id]
Note – Ensure that the required patches are installed before installation can complete
successfully on Solaris. For more information on patch requirement see, Sun Java System Web
Server 7.0 Release Notes
