Linux/UNIX: Installing and configuring the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Automation Server in silent mode

A silent installation runs on its own and does not require you to provide input to dialog boxes or monitor the installation. This configuration option allows for an unattended and automatic installation and configuration of the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Automation Server.


To install and configure the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Automation Server in silent mode, using the silent response file:

  1. On the product installation media, locate the silent_install.txt file and copy it into a temporary directory on the target system.

  2. Edit the silent_install.txt file and perform the following actions so that only the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Automation Server is installed:

    1. comment out INSTALL_PRODUCT=all

    2. uncomment INSTALL_PRODUCT=as

  3. Invoke the following command to perform the silent installation:

      install.sh -q -h <candlehome> -p <silent_response_file>
