Performing a nonprompted BOS installation

Edit online

This procedure provides information about how to create a bosinst_data resource to use for a nonprompted BOS installation.

After you have created the bosinst_data resource, refer to the following procedures to perform the nonprompted installation:

Prerequisites

  1. The NIM master must be configured, and lpp_source and SPOT resources must be defined. See Configuring the NIM master and creating basic installation resources.
  2. The NIM client to be installed must already exist in the NIM environment. To add the client to the NIM environment, use the procedure Adding standalone clients to the NIM environment.
  3. If any of the software to be installed during the BOS installation requires acceptance of a license agreement, determine whether to accept the license agreement during BOS installation or defer acceptance until after the client has booted. Note that license acceptance takes place at the client.
