Installing in silent mode

To install IBM® Storage Protect Snapshot in silent mode, you must create a properties file.

About this task

You can generate a properties file when you are installing the product in interactive mode. You can use this properties file to install similar setups in silent mode.

Procedure

  1. Install IBM Storage Protect Snapshot in interactive mode and generate a properties file with the following command that is run from the installation directory:
    ./<version>-TIV-TSFCM-<platform>.bin [-i console] -DRECORDFILE=<properties_file>
    For example,
    ./8.1.0.4-TIV-TSFCM-AIX.bin -DRECORDFILE=/tmp/installation.properties
  2. Invoke the executable file with the -i silent option and the -f option to specify the properties file:
    ./<version>-TIV-TSFCM–<platform>.bin -i silent -f <properties_file>
    
    The properties_file specification must contain a full path.
    For example,
    ./8.1.0.4-TIV-TSFCM-AIX.bin -i silent -f /tmp/installation.properties
  3. Review the installation.log file in the installation directory to complete the process.
