Greetings!

 

Using version 11.24, is there a way to use the linux install (./install_silent), indicating a filesystem Restore Only agent?  

 

Thank you in advance!

I hadn’t been able to update this since I managed to find an option ~

 

Yes!  do the custom package, as Damian Andre indicated.  You’ll get a tar file - expand it on the client, then:

  1. Copy the default.xml to save it
  2. vi default.xml
  3. find “restoreOnlyAgents” - toward the end of the file (in CVInstallManager_ClientSetup)
  4. change that to “True”

I’ll update this to confirm that this WORKED.

You should be able to create a custom package with restore only:

https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/expert/2027_creating_custom_package_for_unix_linux_and_macintosh_computers_using_installation_package.html

Once done you can use that for an unattended / silent install.

 

Not sure if you have tried that or can’t locate the restore only option in the custom page creation step?
