Install a CIP

 

Install a customized installation package (CIP) for WAS ND.

Before you use the installation tools, read this topic to prepare for installation and to learn about installation options. Also read the hardware and software requirements on the Supported hardware and software Web site to get started.

[Windows] The installation procedure requires the installer ID to have the following advanced user rights, Act as part of the operating system and Log on as a service to install Windows services.

[AIX] [HP-UX] [Linux] [Solaris] The installer ID can be a non-root user ID. However, some installation procedures might require the installer ID to be the root user. For detailed information on non-root limitations see, Limitations of non-root installers.

 

Overview

This topic describes how to install the product using a CIP. A CIP installation runs the installation wizard in graphical interface mode or in silent mode. The installation wizard performs the following actions:

 

Procedure

  1. Plan your installation.

    See Planning the installation.

  2. Prepare your operating platform for installation.

    See Preparing the operating system for product installation.

  3. Review the roadmap for installing the ND product as described in Roadmap: Installing the ND product.

  4. Install the ND product.

    If you cannot use a graphical user interface on your operating system for some reason, use the wizard in silent mode. Choose an installation scenario to continue the installation:

       

    • Graphical user interface: Perform a custom installation with the wizard.

      The custom installation lets you select features to install.

      See Installing a CIP for ND.

       

    • Graphical user interface: Install additional features to an existing installation.

      After installing the product, you can install it again to update the system files by installing previously uninstalled features.

      See Installing CIP features on an existing ND product.

       

    • Command-line interface: Perform a silent installation as described in Installing a CIP silently.

      A silent installation requires you to edit the response file that contains all of your installation choices. After creating a valid response file, issue the install command with the -silent parameter and the -options parameter from a command window.

    The installer program does not support the ISMP-console installation method at this time.

    If you encounter a problem such as needing more disk space or temporary space or missing prerequisite packages on your system, cancel the installation, make the required changes, and restart the installation.
