Installing the DS CLI using the console mode

Complete this task to install the DS CLI on your system using the console mode. The console mode is primarily used for installations on a Linux operating system or on a UNIX operating system without an X display. You can run the installer from a command prompt on a Windows operating system.

Before you begin

Consider the following before you complete the installation of the DS CLI:

You must have a version of Java™ 6 or later that is installed on your system in a standard directory. The DS CLI installer checks the standard directories to determine if a version of Java 6 or later exists on your system. If this version is not found in the standard directories, the installation fails. If the installation fails because the correct version of Java is not found, see Correcting the Java Virtual Machine Not Found Error.
If the DS CLI was installed on your client or host system in the past, you must end any active sessions of the DS CLI before you run the DS CLI installation CD.
If you are installing onto a Novell NetWare system, you are directed to provide the following information:
- The directory where your Windows drive is mapped
- The directory where the JAVA HOME is located

About this task

Before you can use the DS CLI, some operating systems require that you restart your system after the installation is complete. You might also be required to open a new command prompt window to start a DS CLI session.

Complete the following steps to install the DS CLI using the console mode:

Procedure

Insert the DS CLI Installation CD into the CD drive.
Open a command prompt and navigate to the location of the dsclisetup file on the DS CLI CD. You can find the setup file by navigating to IMAGES\HMC\Disk1\InstData, and then selecting your platform to find the appropriate setup file. For example, in Windows the path would be IMAGES\HMC\Disk1\InstData\Windows\NoVM\dsclisetup.exe.

Type the following command on the command line: dsclisetup<.exe | .bin> -i console. For example, for Windows, type: dsclisetup.exe -i console or, for Linux, type: dsclisetup.bin -i console. For an installation onto an OS/400® system from a Windows operating system, type: setupwin32console.exe -os400. The Introduction screen is displayed.

Notes:

You can use the -i parameter to specify any user interface mode when installing the DS CLI: -i [swing | console | silent]. The default mode for installing Windows is swing. The default for UNIX and Linux is console mode. You do not have to specify the mode in the command unless you want to use something other than the default mode.
While in console mode, you can type back to return to the previous screen, or quit to exit the installation.
