You can use silent installation to install Tivoli Directory Server or the language
packs with no user input required.
The following options and conditions apply to silent installation:
You do not need to install all features. You can choose to install:
The client only
The Java client
The Web Administration Tool only
The proxy server (includes the client and the Java client)
The full directory server (includes the client and the Java client)
You can also use Tivoli Directory Server silent installation to install DB2®, GSKit, and Embedded WebSphere Application Server.
If a supported version of DB2 (for example, DB2 9.5)
is already installed on the computer, the silent installation program
will not install DB2 9.7 even
if it is selected for installation in the options file.
If you install DB2, a Windows system user ID is created
for the DB2 system ID. By default,
this user ID is db2admin and the password is db2admin. If you want to use a different user ID
or password, or both, you must modify them in the Server installation
options file. Change the occurrences of db2admin in the
file to the user ID or password (or both) that you want to use.
Notes:
This user ID must not be the user ID that
will be used as the owner of the directory server instance.
If you are not using an existing user ID, DB2 creates the user ID specified with the password
specified. This is the preferred method.
If you are creating a new user ID, be sure that the password meets
the password requirements for your operating system. If your system
has "Password must meet complexity requirements" enabled, be sure
that the password you supply meets the complexity requirements. If
it does not, installation will fail. See the Windows documentation for information about complexity
requirements. .
If you are using an existing Windows user
ID, it must be a member of the Administrators group. In this case,
be sure that the password you specify is correct. Otherwise, DB2 does not install correctly.
You must have at least 255 MB of free space in the directory specified
by the TEMP environment variable or the directory you want to use
as a temporary directory.
If you are installing the proxy server or the full directory server,
the Administrators group provided with the Windows operating system must exist.
The installation must be run by a user ID with Administrator privileges.
If the client is already installed, you can add the proxy server
or full directory server in a later installation.
If a server is selected for installation in the options file,
the client and the Java client
will automatically be installed if they are not present on the system,
regardless of whether they were selected for installation in the options
file.
The Web Administration Tool can be installed whether or not a server or the
client is installed.
The installation location cannot be the same
as the path where another version of the product is installed.
The server and the client from Tivoli Directory Server 6.3 can coexist with the
following clients and servers:
A client from Tivoli Directory Server 6.0, 6.1, or 6.2
A server from Tivoli Directory Server 6.0, 6.1, or 6.2
If any of these are installed, you can leave them installed.
Before you begin silent installation, be sure that the options
file for the server, client, or language packs is updated with the
correct information about the features you want to install and the
installation path. To edit an options file, copy the file from the
optionsFile directory to a writable location. The files are:
Server options file: InstallServer.txt
Client only options file: InstallClient.txt. (This file is provided
in the client-only package.)
