How do you execute an installation in batch mode using an existing config file?

The execution of an installation in batch mode using an existing configuration file is correctly achieved by specifying both the batch mode parameter and the config file. In this case, the command includes “--batch,” which initiates the installation process in batch mode, allowing the installation to run without user interaction. Additionally, appending “--configfile=/root/hdblcmTemp.cfg” instructs the installer to use a specific configuration file, provided it contains the required settings for the installation.

Using the command in this way is essential for automating installations, particularly in scenarios where repetitive installations are necessary, or when managing environments at scale. It eliminates the need for manual input during the process, ensuring a smooth and consistent deployment.

Other options do not incorporate both necessary elements—batch mode and the specification of a configuration file. Therefore, they fall short of executing the installation as intended. This command effectively integrates both components, streamlining the installation process into a single, automated command.
