After you generate a response file on a Windows workstation, you can run that file
on multiple Windows workstations
to install the product.
Before you begin
- If you generated the response file on a 32-bit Windows workstation, you can run the response
file on 32-bit or 64-bit Windows workstations.
- If you generated the response file on a 64-bit Windows workstation, you must run the response
file on 64-bit Windows 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.
