IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Transactions, Version 7.4.0.0

Silent installation on UNIX systems

Silent installation enables you to define the options for installing Internet Service Monitoring in an installation response file, then run the installation process from the command line without interactive input. This method is useful for performing repeated installations.

Before you begin

Before beginning the installation, ensure that you have read Planning to install Internet Service Monitoring for information about hardware and software prerequisites, planning and deployment considerations, and any special limitations.

About this task

A sample installation response file, silent_install.txt, is available with the product installer. The file contains comprehensive instructions on how to modify and use it.

Procedure

To run a silent installation:

  1. Open the installation response file in a text editor.
  2. Uncomment and modify the installation options as required, then save the file.
  3. Execute the command: 
    ./install.sh -q -h home -p response-file
    where home is the IBM Tivoli Monitoring home directory, typically /opt/IBM/ITM, and response-file is the absolute pathname of the installation response file.

Results

What to do next

After installation is complete, you can configure the product using the silent configuration process.
