Silent Mode Installation : WebLogic Application server

Posted by Thirunavukkarasu Muthuswamy at Monday, March 18, 2013 Labels:
What is Silent-Mode Installation ?
Silent-mode installation is a way of setting installation configurations only once and then using those configurations to duplicate the installation on many machines. During installation in silent mode, the installation program reads the settings for your configuration from an XML file that you create prior to beginning the installation. The installation program does not display any configuration options during the installation process. Silent-mode installation works on both Windows and UNIX systems.

    hi,

    I am trying the same steps but keep getting below error. Why does it need a display?

    [weblogic_user@centos-64-1 opt]$ /opt/jdk1.7.0_55/bin/java -d64 -jar /tmp/weblogic_install.jar -mode=silent -silent_xml=/tmp/silent.xml -log=/tmp/weblogic_server_install.log
