IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics, Version 7.1.0.1

Executing the silent installation command


To run the silent installation command:

  1. Log on to the computer on which you want to install the Managing Server as the root user. To install the Managing Server as a non-root user, see Requirements to install the Managing Server with a non-root user.

  2. If you have an existing installation of IBM WAS, start the instance of IBM WAS to be used by the Managing Server.

  3. Specify configuration options in one of the response file templates and save the file:


    Response file templates

    Installation type Sample response file
    Typical /path/to/install\silent\MS_typical.opt
    Custom /path/to/install\silent\MS_Sample.opt or MS.opt

    For further details see the following sections:

    1. Optionally, you can use a response file created by a GUI installer installation. Ensure during installation, that in Generate Response File panel, you select Save settings in a response file and enter the file path ending with a file name:

    2. If you save the response file in a location other than /path/to/install/silent, ensure that directory is readable by the user performing the silent installation.

  4. Use the command-line interface to access the directory that contains the installation executable file. The setup_MS_platform.bin file is located in this directory. Type the following installation command and press Enter. 
    ./setup_MS_platform.bin -silent [-is:log [log_file_name]] [-is:tempdir temp_dir]
           [configuration_option...] -options response_file

    log_file_name

    Absolute path to log file that the silent installer will write to. The file will be created even if it does not yet exist or if no name is specified. The user for the installation must have read and write privileges to this directory.

    temp_dir

    Path and name of the temporary directory that the InstallShield portion of the silent installer will write to. The user for the installation must have read, write, and execute privileges to this directory.

    configuration_option

    One or more configuration options not included in the response file. See Configuration options list.

    response_file

    Response file configured in Step 3. Indicate the path and name of the file.

    Here is an example of an installation command when performing a typical installation: 

    ./setup_MS_platform.bin -silent -is:log /opt/tmp/MSlog.txt 
        -V ITCAM_SYS_USERS=itcamuser -options /opt/silent/MS_typical.opt

    Here is an example of an installation command when performing a custom installation: 

    ./setup_MS_platform.bin -silent -is:log /opt/tmp/MSlog.txt 
        -V PORT_KERNEL_RMI01=9133 -options /opt/silent/MS_Sample.opt
    Configuration options specified in the response file take precedence over those entered in the command line. For a particular command-line configuration option to take effect, first nullify that option in the response file by commenting it out with a number sign (#).
