After you generate a response file on a Linux workstation,
you can run that file on multiple Linux workstations to install the
product.
Before you begin
- If you generated the response file on a 32-bit Linux workstation,
you must run the response file on 32-bit Linux workstations.
- If you generated the response file on a 64-bit Linux workstation,
you must run the response file on 64-bit Linux workstations.
- Ensure that the repositories that the response file
specifies are accessible by IBM Installation Manager. For example,
if the response file points to the diskTag.inf files
that are on the product DVD, place the product DVD in the DVD drive
of the workstation before starting the silent installation.
- Ensure that the IBM Installation Manager Kit is
copied to a location on the workstation, if IBM Installation Manager
is not installed on the workstation.
Procedure
To run a response file:
- If IBM Installation Manager is not installed on the target
Linux workstation, follow these steps.
- Change to the InstallerImage subdirectory
of the IBM Installation Manager Kit.
- Run one of these commands to run the response file:
- If IBM Installation Manager is installed on the target
Linux workstation, follow these steps.
- At a command line, change to the eclipse subdirectory
where IBM Installation Manager is installed.
- If version 1.3.4 or 1.4.2 is installed, run one of these
commands to run the response file:
- If you have administrative rights on the workstation:
./IBMIM --launcher.ini silent-install.ini input response_file_path_and_name -log log_file_path_and_name
- If you do not have administrative rights on the workstation:
./userinst --launcher.ini silent-install.ini input response_file_path_and_name -log log_file_path_and_name
- If version 1.4.3 or later is installed, run one of these
commands to run the response file:
