About editing the response file

You can edit the response file to modify any inputs that you provided to the Installation Wizard. The silent installation is based on these inputs. To edit the response file, open it from C:\Windows\Temp\Symantec\OpsCenter and modify the Value field of the applicable install property. For example, you can edit the response file to modify the OpsCenter installation location, license key information, or database directory.

The following are the contents of a sample response file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
- <XML_Install>
- HYPERLINK \l ""- <OpsCenter_Server>
<InstallProperty Name="RAN_SETUP" Value="1" />
<InstallProperty Name="SYMTMPPATH" Value="C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\
1\Symantec\OpsCenter\" />
<InstallProperty Name="TELEMETRY_UPLOAD" Value="YES" />
<InstallProperty Name="INSTALLHTMLLOGPATH" Value="C:\Documents and Settings\
All Users\Symantec\OpsCenter\InstallLogs\OpsCenterServerInstallLog.htm" />
<InstallProperty Name="BUSINESS_REP_LIC_KEYS" Value="0" />
<InstallProperty Name="SCMSTARTTYPE" Value="auto" />
<Installproperty Name="INSTALLPBX" Value="YES" />
<Installproperty Name="STARTSERVICE" Value="YES" />
<InstallProperty Name="INSTALLDIR" Value="C:\Program Files\Symantec\" />
<Installproperty Name="DATABASE_DATA_DIR" Value="C:\Program Files\Symantec\OpsCenter\DB\Data" />
</OpsCenter_Server>
</XML_Install>

For example, you can modify the OpsCenter installation location in this response file by changing the value of INSTALLDIR property from C:\Program Files\Symantec to D:\Symantec. You can also modify the database directory by modifying the value of the DATABASE_DATA_DIR property.

Similarly you can edit the license key by changing the value in the <TagValue> LicenseKey </TagValue> element under the BUSINESS_REP_LIC_KEYS install property.

If you do not have the license key, you must enter 0 (zero) as the value for the BUSINESS_REP_LIC_KEYS install property. For example, <InstallProperty Name="BUSINESS_REP_LIC_KEYS" Value="0" />

Zero indicates that the license key was not provided during the installation. In this case, you can use the features that are available only with the free or unlicensed version of OpsCenter.

For more information about the features of OpsCenter (unlicensed version), see the "About OpsCenter functions" section in the NetBackup OpsCenter Administrator's Guide.

If you have the license key to use with the installation, you must pass it in the response file by using the <TagValue>LicenseKey </TagValue> element under the BUSINESS_REP_LIC_KEYS install property.

You can also add multiple license keys in the response file. To add multiple license keys in the response file, add the license keys in the <TagValue>LicenseKey </TagValue> element under the BUSINESS_REP_LIC_KEYS install property on separate lines. You may enter the license keys in any order.

For example,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
- <XML_Install>
- HYPERLINK \l ""- <OpsCenter_Server>
<InstallProperty Name="RAN_SETUP" Value="1" />
<InstallProperty Name="SYMTMPPATH" Value="C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\
Temp\1\Symantec\OpsCenter\" />
<InstallProperty Name="TELEMETRY_UPLOAD" Value="YES" />
<InstallProperty Name="INSTALLHTMLLOGPATH" Value="C:\Documents and Settings\
All Users\Symantec\OpsCenter\InstallLogs\OpsCenterServerInstallLog.htm" />
<InstallProperty Name="BUSINESS_REP_LIC_KEYS"/>
    <TagValue>ORZDD-XYZU-BBBB-CCCC-TTTT-DRTR-UPUP-ININ-HJHJ-P</TagValue>
    <TagValue>XYZU-ORZF-UPUP-YHYH-KIOP-BUSA-LIIP-UBSI-VNGR-K</TagValue>
    <TagValue>SDHA-JNRA-UJUJ-BRDR-DEWS-HPYL-NINC-MBRI-AVXO-W</TagValue>
<InstallProperty Name="SCMSTARTTYPE" Value="auto" />
<Installproperty Name="INSTALLPBX" Value="YES" />
<Installproperty Name="STARTSERVICE" Value="YES" />
<InstallProperty Name="INSTALLDIR" Value="C:\Program Files\Symantec\" />
<Installproperty Name="DATABASE_DATA_DIR" Value="C:\Program Files\Symantec\OpsCenter\DB\Data" />
</OpsCenter_Server>
</XML_Install>

			

For more details about the features of OpsCenter Analytics (licensed version), see the "About OpsCenter Analytics functions" section in the NetBackup OpsCenter Administrator's Guide.

  • It is recommended that you do not change the value of RAN_SETUP, SCMSTARTTYPE, INSTALLPBX, and STARTSERVICE install properties.

    You must save the response file after you modify it.

    The text that you enter or modify in the response file is case-sensitive.

Note:

By default, in OpsCenter, the database is upgraded in the beginning. If you want the OpsCenter software to be upgraded first in case of silent installation, you need to add the following in the response file: <InstallProperty Name="ENABLEPREDBUPGRADE" Value="FALSE" />
