Prerequisites
- Administrative or root privileges on the target machine
- Access to the DSM installer
- Familiarity with the DSM silent installation process
Procedure
Step 1: Prepare the silent installation parameters file
Follow the steps in Install Deep Security Manager Silently to create the installation parameters file.
Step 2: Add the custom installation directory parameter
Open the parameters file in a text editor and append the following line at the bottom, replacing the sample path with your desired directory:
- Linux:
sys.installationDir=/home/linuxuser/Desktop/dsm/
- Windows
sys.installationDir=D:/TestFolder/SubFolder/CustomDSMPath/
Note: Ensure the specified directory exists or that the installer has sufficient permissions to create it. Use forward slashes (/) for both Linux and Windows paths in the parameters file.
Step 3: Run the silent installation
Proceed with the silent installation as documented. DSM will install to the custom directory specified in the parameters file.
Verification
After installation completes, confirm that DSM files are present in the specified custom directory to verify the installation was successful.
