Installing in silent mode on an AIX system

You can install Data Protection for Oracle in silent mode on a UNIX, AIX®, or Linux™ system. A silent installation runs independently without any intervention so that you are not required to monitor, or provide input.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have installed the IBM® Storage Protect API before you install Data Protection for Oracle in silent mode.

About this task

This method is useful when you must install Data Protection for Oracle on a number of different computers with identical hardware. For example, a company might have 25 Oracle servers that are installed across 25 different sites. You can create an unattended installation package and make it available to the 25 sites. This method ensures a consistent configuration and avoids different people all entering Data Protection for Oracle parameters. The installation package can be placed on a DVD and sent to each site, or it can be placed on a file server for distribution.
