PullInfoPrint Manager to a remote system (unattended)

Use this procedure to pull the InfoPrint Manager software from the InfoPrint Manager software server to a remote unattended machine:

  1. Set up the InfoPrint Manager software server by following the instructions described in Configuring the InfoPrint Manager software server.
  2. Follow steps 1-9 of the installation procedure described in Installing InfoPrint Manager server software and features locally with the Installer.
  3. Enter yes when asked if you want to create an ipin_response file for an unattended installation. Enter the name of the remote system and leave blank for the name of the local system.
  4. Use your Linux editor of choice to edit the ipin_response file. Accept the License Agreement by setting acceptLicense to 1.
  5. Copy the ipin_response file to a location on the remote system such as the /tmp directory.
  6. From the remote system, log in as root and follow these steps:
    1. Create the /ip_remote directory on the target system: mkdir /ip_remote.
    2. Mount the InfoPrint Manager software server as an NFS file system: 
      mount Infoprint_Manager_software_server_hostname:/ip_remote /ip_remote
  7. Specify this command to start the remote pull installation: 
    /ip_remote/install.sh -a /path/to/ipin_response/file
      Note:
    • f you have elected to give the /ip_remote file system a different mount point, you must use the optional -s flag to identify it.

The InfoPrint Manager installation begins by reading the values from the ipin_response file. After the installation is complete, log off and log in again for each logged in user.

For troubleshooting information about the installation process, see the specific /var/log/pd/install/<infoprint manager version>/*.log files.
