Silently installing the TADDM server

You can run the installer in silent mode to install a TADDM server with no user interaction.

Restriction: Silent installation is not supported if firewall exists between IBM® Tivoli CCMDB or IBM SmartCloud Control Desk and TADDM resources.

Restriction: When you run the TADDM installation wizard setupWin.bat on Windows operating systems, select the Run as administrator option. Otherwise, the installation will fail.

To run a silent installation of the server, complete the following steps:

Go to the server and use one of the following procedures:
- For Linux®, AIX®, and Linux on System z® operating systems, use either root or non-root user ID to log in.
- For the Windows operating systems, use a Windows logon ID with Administrator authority.
To generate a response file, complete one of the following options.
Important: The response file must be saved in the UTF-8 encoding without the BOM so that the installer reads it properly. If the response file is in the UTF-8 encoding with the BOM or uses Unicode or Unicode Big Endian encoding, the installer is unable to read the file properly.

Important: If you are installing on a dual-stack system that supports both the IPv4 and IPv6 protocols, make sure that any numeric IP addresses you specify in the response file are IPv4 addresses.
- Run the installation wizard with the record option, ensuring that the folder that is to contain the response file already exists. As you proceed through the pages of the installation wizard, your answers are captured and the response file is generated.
  When you complete the installation, the response file (for example, install.rsp) is available in the tmp directory.
  
  When recording the response file, password information is not saved. Before installing TADDM in silent mode, you must manually edit the response file and ensure the appropriate database passwords are included.
  - For Linux operating systems:
```
setupLinux.bin -r /tmp/install.rsp
```
  - For AIX operating systems:
```
setupAix.bin -r /tmp/install.rsp
```
  - For Linux on System z operating systems:
```
setupZLinux.bin -r /tmp/install.rsp
```
  - For Windows operating systems:
```
setupWin.bat -r c:\temp\install.rsp
```
- If you do not want to generate a response file by recording input values to a response file, you can create a response file to use for the silent installation. To create a response file, run the following command for your operating system, ensuring that the folder that is to contain the response file already exists:
  - For Linux operating systems:
```
setupLinux.bin -g /tmp/install.rsp
```
  - For AIX operating systems:
```
setupAix.bin -g /tmp/install.rsp
```
  - For Linux on System z operating systems:
```
setupZLinux.bin -g /tmp/install.rsp
```
  - For Windows operating systems:
```
setupWin.bat -g c:\temp\install.rsp
```
    You must edit the template response file, install.rsp, with the appropriate values before you can use it. The template response file includes instructions for each value.
    
    Sample response files are provided in the support/samples directory.
    
    You can use any text editor to edit the response file.
Run the silent installation using the response file:
- For Linux operating systems:
```
setupLinux.bin -i silent -f /tmp/install.rsp
```
- For AIX operating systems:
```
setupAix.bin -i silent -f /tmp/install.rsp
```
- For Linux on System z operating systems:
```
setupZLinux.bin -i silent -f /tmp/install.rsp
```
- For Windows operating systems:
```
setupWin.bat -i silent -f c:\temp\install.rsp
```
Note: If an error message is displayed that there is insufficient disk space in the temp directory, run the installation again and specify a different temp directory. Use the option -t temp, for example, setupLinux.bin -i silent -f /tmp/install.rsp -t /mytempdir.

This installation can be a lengthy process, depending on the number and type of components that you are installing. While the installation process is running, you can monitor the progress by viewing changes to the installation log. The log also contains information that can help you troubleshoot problems that occur during installation. Log files can be found in the installLogs subdirectory of the installation directory.
