Upgrading DCF using Unattended (Silent) Mode

This section illustrates the DCF upgradation procedure in unattended (Silent) mode that is upgradation without user input.
  1. When DCF base install location is
    /opt/DCF
    , type the setup command syntax:
    ./Smarts_dcf-<Version>.bin -i silent
    and press
    Enter
    .
  2. If the base install location is different from
    /opt/DCF
    , specify the location of the product suite to be upgraded in
    properties
    file.
    For example, specify the directory as:
    USER_INSTALL_DIR=/opt/DCF1 in “Smarts_dcf-<Version>-silent-installer.properties”
    .
  3. To create
    installer.properties
    file, execute the command:
    echo "USER_INSTALL_DIR=<DCF_Install_DIRECTORY>" > Smarts_dcf-<Version>-silent-installer.properties
  4. Provide the path to
    Smarts_dcf-<Version>-silent-installer.properties
    file.
    If it is not present in the DCF binary location, execute the command:
    Product Name: DCF Install Folder: /opt/DCF ./Smarts_dcf-<Version>.bin -i silent -f Smarts_dcf-<Version>-silent-installer.properties
    Ensure to update the
    Smarts_dcf-<Version>-silent-installer.properties
    file with DCF base directory
    <DCF_Install_DIRECTORY>
    correctly. Else a fresh installation will take place at the new location causing two DCF instances.
