Installing Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus (silent)
You can install Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus silently. This installation method is useful if you want identical installation configurations on multiple workstations. Silent installation requires a response file that defines the installation configuration.
Before you begin
- Create or record an Installation
Manager response
file.
You can specify a local or remote Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus package repository in the response file. You can also specify that Installation Manager downloads the package from IBM® Passport Advantage®. For more information about specifying authenticated repositories in response files, search for the
Storing credentials
topic in the Installation Manager information center:http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSDV2W/im_family_welcome.html
- Determine which Installation Manager user mode you require. For Installation Option 3, the installation scripts automatically select Installation Manager Administrator mode when they are run by a root user or Nonadministrator mode when run by a non-root user.
- Read the license agreement. The license agreement can be viewed on the IBM Passport Advantage web site or by using Installation Manager in GUI or console mode.
- Ensure that the necessary user permissions are in place for your intended installation directories.
About this task
You must install Tivoli
Netcool/OMNIbus as
an Administrator user. One administrator per computer can install
a single instance of Tivoli
Netcool/OMNIbus per
computer.
Installation
Manager takes
account of your current umask settings when it sets the permissions
mode of the files and directories that it installs. If you use Administrator
mode or Nonadministrator
mode and your umask is 0, Installation
Manager uses
a umask of 22. If you use Group mode, Installation
Manager ignores
any group bits that are set and uses a umask of 2 if
the resulting value is 0.
Procedure
Results
Installation Manager installs Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus.
The Netcool
Conductor and Netcool Suite shortcuts
are added to the menu. On Windows 8 and Windows
Server 2012, shortcuts for all the main applications are added to
the Apps view. The NCHOME, OMNIHOME, SYBASE,
and PATH environment variables, which are required
to run the installed features, are automatically set or modified.
Do not change the value of the SYBASE variable.
