Where options are optional parameters for running the installation kit in silent mode. For a list of available parameters, see Linux Agent installation parameters.
Linux Agent installation parameters

|
-force | -F |
Force the installation; skip the initial free space check. |

-web-registration=file -W=file |
Attempts to register to Portal with the values found in the file. See Linux Agent registration options. |

|
-log=NAME | |
Writes the installation log to the specified file NAME. |
|
-lang=NAME | |
Selects NAME as the language. Must begin with an ISO language code. May optionally be followed by a dash or underscore and an ISO country code (e.g., fr, fr-FR, and fr_FR are acceptable). Character set markers (e.g., UTF-8) are ignored. Languages that cannot be matched will report an error and the language will be defaulted to en-US [English (US)]. If not specified, the language will be guessed from your system value of "en_US.UTF-8". |
|
-backup=DIR | -B=DIR |
Backs up the current installation of the Agent to the specified directory. |
|
-verify | -V |
Verifies the integrity of the installation kit. |
|
-enable-bmr=Y |
Turns on support for Bare Metal Restore (BMR) backup jobs. path is the location of the Relax-and-Recover tool for the Agent to use (e.g., /user/sbin/rear) to create an iso file for restoring the system. The Relax-and-Recover tool (https://relax-and-recover.org/) must be installed on the Linux system before you install the Agent. See Install and verify Relax-and-Recover for Linux BMR backups. Note: When you install the Linux Agent, it configures the Relax-and-Recover tool for use with the Linux Agent. If you use the Relax-and-Recover tool for another purpose, you can avoid overwriting your Relax-and-Recover tool settings by installing a second copy of the tool in a different location. |
|
-enable-bmr=N |
Turns off support for Bare Metal Restore (BMR) backup jobs. Note: If you do not specify the -enable-bmr=Y -rear-path=[path] parameter, -enable-bmr=N is the default value. |
|
-help |
Shows install.sh command options. |
