Implementation and Execution of an installation script.
Script below is applicable in cases when Parallels Installer is previously uploaded to the target server and the execution bit is set in its permissions.
#!/bin/sh

for current_server in $SERVERS_LIST; do
scp parallels_installer root@$current_server:
ssh -f root@$current_server “parallels_installer –source http://updates.example.com/ –target /tmp/panel –select-release-id PLESK_10_0_0 –install-component base –install-component postgresql –install-component asp –notify-email admin@domain-name.com”

To avoid being prompted for password each time you connect via SSH to the servers where the Panel should be installed, place your public key to the list of authorized keys of a user on whose behalf the script is run on each server.

Parallels Installer options
To know more about options related to upgrading already installed Panel or the host operating system, issue the following command:
parallels_installer –help
By default, the installer saves the retrieved files in the directory /[current user name]/psa. For instance, if the installer was executed by user root, the /root/psa directory will be created and used. If you want to use a custom directory for storing the retrieved files, use the –target option.
