If you want to install the product silently on multiple
Linux workstations, you must first generate a response file.
Before you begin
- If target workstations are running 32-bit Linux, you must generate
the response file on a 32-bit Linux workstation.
- If target workstations are running 64-bit Linux, you must generate
the response file on a 64-bit Linux workstation.
- Ensure that IBM Installation Manager is installed on the workstations
that you use to generate a response file.
Procedure
To generate a response file:
- Ensure that IBM Installation Manager automatically checks
for updates to itself.
- Start IBM Installation Manager.
- Select .
- In the Preferences window, select Updates.
- On the Updates page, select the option Search
for Installation Manager updates. Then, click OK.
- Close IBM Installation Manager.
- Record the response file by following the steps
in the topic "Recording a response file with Installation Manager".
After you finish step 2 in that topic and Installation Manager
starts, select in the menu bar. On the
Repositories page
of the
Preferences window, follow one of these
steps to add the repository or repositories where the installation
media is located.
- If you want to install both the IBM Data Studio client and the
license activation kit, add the location of the diskTag.inf files
for both the IBM Data Studio client, Version 3.2 and the IBM InfoSphere
Optim Query Workload Tuner License Activation Kit, Version 3.2.
- If you want to install only the IBM Data Studio client, add the
location of the diskTag.inf file for the IBM
Data Studio client, Version 3.2.
- If you want to install only the license activation kit because
the IBM Data Studio client, Version 3.2 is already installed on target
machines, add the location of the diskTag.inf file
for the IBM InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner License Activation
Kit, Version 3.2.
The path to the
diskTag.inf file
for IBM Data Studio client is:
root_path_of_installation_media/disk1/diskTag.inf
The
path to the
diskTag.inf file for the license
activation kit is:
root_path_of_installation_media/oqwt/diskTag.inf
On
the
Install Packages page, specify an existing
package group or a new package group depending on whether you are
upgrading an existing product.
- If the IBM Data Studio client, Version 3.1.1 is installed, upgrade
it to the IBM Data Studio client, Version 3.2 by selecting the package
group in which the Version 3.1.1 client is installed. If you plan
to install the IBM InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner License Activation
Kit, Version 3.2, install it into the same package group.
- If the IBM Data Studio client, Version 3.1 installed, install
the IBM Data Studio client, Version 3.2 into a new package group.
If you plan to install the IBM InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner
License Activation Kit, Version 3.2, install it into the same package
group in which you are installing the Version 3.2 client.
- If the InfoSphere Optim Query Tuner client, Version 3.1 is installed
and you want to upgrade to IBM Data Studio client, Version 3.2, select
the package group in which the InfoSphere Optim Query Tuner client,
Version 3.1 is installed. The Installation Manager wizard will uninstall
that product before installing IBM Data Studio client, Version 3.2.
If you plan to install the IBM InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner
License Activation Kit, Version 3.2, install it into the same package
group.
- If you do not have the InfoSphere Optim Query Tuner client, Version
3.1 or IBM Data Studio client, Version 3.1 or 3.1.1 installed, create
a new package group.
- Finish the remaining steps in the wizard. When the wizard finishes, the response file is generated
at the location that you specified when you ran the command to generate
the response file.
- If IBM Installation Manager is not installed
on the workstations where you plan to run the response file, modify
the response file by adding information for installing IBM Installation
Manager.
- Open the response file in a text editor.
- Open the repository.xml file for IBM Installation Manager
in a text editor. The path to this file is:
root_path_of_installation_media/disk1/InstallerImage_platform/
.
- In the repository.xml file, copy
the opening <offering> tag. That tag looks
similar to this: <offering id='com.ibm.cic.agent' version='1.6.0.20120831_1216'>
- In the response file, create a new line after the opening <install> tag.
- Paste the copied <offering> tag
at the new line, so that the tag is the first entry after the <install> tag.
- Before the closing angle bracket in the <offering> tag,
type a space and a forward slash.
- In the offering tag, replace the single quotation marks
with double quotation marks.
- Save and close the response file.
What to do next
Transfer the response file to a Linux workstation where you
want to install the product.
- If you generated the response file on a 32-bit Linux workstation,
transfer the file to a 32-bit Linux workstation.
- If you generated the response file on a 64-bit Linux workstation,
transfer the file to a 64-bit Linux workstation.
After you transfer the response file,
run
it on the target Linux workstation.
