Special instructions for AIX

Review the following special instructions before you install Jazz™ Team Server on an AIX® server.

Prerequisites

Unless you plan to perform a silent installation, a supported browser is required to perform a graphical installation using the IBM® Installation Manager. You can download the Firefox browser for AIX at Download Firefox.
The browser must be included in the $PATH environment variable. If the launchpad.sh program for IBM® Installation Manager cannot find the browser, an error message will be displayed.
You must install the Jazz Team Server from a full console login to the AIX system. Installation from an X Window session other than a graphical console login session can hang Installation Manager.

Silent installations

You can also perform a silent installation of the Jazz Team Server on AIX. For information about silent installations see Installing silently on the UNIX systems and alsoInstalling silently.

Sample response file for silent installations

A sample response file that can be used with a silent installation on AIX is shown below. The sample that is included is for installing IBM Rational® Quality Manager. Replace the included paths and IDs with the appropriate ones for your particular installation.
