IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Perform a silent installation on a Linux or UNIX computer
Just as the interactive installation on Linux and UNIX requires both an installation of code and then a separate configuration, so does the silent installation method. Both the installation and configuration use parameter files to define what you are installing or configuring.
Sample installation and configuration parameter files are included with IBM Tivoli Monitoring and with monitoring agents.
The files are located in the following locations:
- Silent installation files:
- On the product installation media (both base IBM Tivoli Monitoring and agent installation media)
- After installation, a sample file is located in the install_dir/samples directory
- Silent configuration files: After you install the product, a configuration file for each component that requires configuration is located in the install_dir/samples directory. There is also a sample configuration file that you can use to configure any component.
Before editing any of the response files, note the following syntax rules:
- Comment lines begin with a pound sign (#).
- Blank lines are ignored.
- Parameter lines are PARAMETER=value. Do not use a space before the parameter; you can use a space before or after an equal sign (=).
- Do not use any of the following characters in any parameter value:
| &
| ampersand
|
| |
| pipe
|
| '
| single quote
|
| =
| equal sign
|
| $
| dollar sign
