Linux: Installing Tivoli Storage Manager in silent mode
You can install the IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager server in silent mode without any user interaction.
Before you begin
A silent installation can use response
files for data input. The input directory, which
is in the directory where the installation package was extracted,
contains the following sample response files to install, update, and
uninstall Tivoli Storage
Manager:
- install_response_sample.xml
- update_response_sample.xml
- uninstall_response_sample.xml
You can use these sample files as they are or you can customize them to suit your needs. It is optimal to use the sample response files. These sample files contain instructions and default values to help you avoid any unnecessary warnings.
Procedure
Note: When you silently
install the Tivoli Storage
Manager server
along with the Operations Center,
you must create a password for the Operations Center truststore
file. If you use a default response file, update the following line
of the file to create a password for the truststore file of the Operations Center, where mypassword represents
the password:
<data key='user.SSL_PASSWORD' value='mypassword'/>
For
more information about this password, see Installation checklist.What to do next
- If errors occur during the installation process,
the errors are recorded in log files that are stored in the IBM Installation Manager logs
directory, for example:
