Appendix B. Silent Installation Using CLIAppendix B. Silent Installation Using CLI

You can use the following Command Line Interface commands to run the installation script (nwsetup-tui) without getting prompted for inputs. This enables you to automate the installation of a host by supplying response to the scripts prompts through the command line.

  1. After you have created a base image on the host, log in to the host with the root credentials.

  2. Submit the nwsetup-tui script with the --silent command and the arguments that you want to apply.

    The following command string is an example of how you would install a basic NW Server host.

    nwsetup-tui --silent --is-head=true --host-name=new-host --master-pass=netwitness --deploy-pass=netwitness --repo-type=1 --custom-firewall=false --ip-override=false --eula=true

Note: In NetWitness Platform version 11.6 or later, deployment account password must contain at least one number, one upper and lower case letter, and one special characters (!@#%^,+ . ) along with the existing policy. The same password policy applies while updating deploy_admin password using nw-manage script.
If deploy_admin password is changed on Primary NW Server, It must be changed on the Warm Standby Server if it exists.

  1. (Conditional - For Component Hosts Only) Install the appropriate service Category on the newly provisioned host in the NetWitness Platform Hosts view.

    1. Log into NetWitness and go to netwitness_adminicon_25x22.png (Admin) > Hosts.

      The New Hosts dialog is displayed with the Hosts view grayed out in the background

      Note: If the New Hosts dialog is not displayed, click Discover in the Hosts view toolbar.

    2. Select the host in the New Hosts dialog and click Enable.

      The New Hosts dialog closes and the host is displayed in the Hosts view.

    3. Select that host in the Hosts view (for example, Event Stream Analysis) and click netwitness_ic-install.png.

      The Install Services dialog is displayed.

    4. Select the appropriate host type in Category and click Install.
