The AEP installation script for all server types uses the aepinstall.sh script. This script is included in the AEP ISO that is being installed. For example, AEP-8.x.iso. The script does the following:
Checks the server using the pre-requisite or Platform Vendor Independent (PVI) checker to verify that minimum hardware requirements and OS RPM packages are installed, and other OS configurations are completed.
Installs Primary EPM, Auxiliary EPM, Standalone MPP, or the co-resident Primary EPM or MPP.
Supports headless installs of the servers using an XML file in all required settings.
The AEP installation script has the following parameters:
| -help | Prints out help. |
| -pvicheck | Runs the pre-requisite (PVI) checker and generates a report in /opt/Avaya/InstallLogs/pvicheck.log. |
| -headless input-file.xml | Allows headless (silent) install of any AEP server type. |
| -autoupgrade | Not correctly supported. |
The AEP installer supports the ability to be headless, which means installation of any server type without user interaction. This is accomplished with the use of an xml file that is passed into the installer.
The AEP ISO that is being installed has a template version of an xml file that can be used as an example. The file is called aepinstallconfig.xmland has the following elements:
