Complete the steps in this section to install a software
package in silent mode.
Procedure
- Open a command prompt and change to the eclipse sub directory
in the directory where Installation Manager is installed. The default
path for this directory is:
- C:\Program Files\IBM\InstallationManager\eclipse
- /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse
- To run the Installation Manger in silent mode, run the
following command from the eclipse subdirectory:
- IBMIMc.exe --launcher.ini silent-install.ini -input <response
file path and name> -log <log file path and name>
- ./IBMIM --launcher.ini silent-install.ini -input <response
file path and name> -log <log file path and name>
Note: Windows does not
support using IBMIM.exe for silent installation. Use IBMIMc.exe for
silent installation.
For example:- IBMIMc.exe --launcher.ini silent-install.ini -input
c:\response_files\install_product.xml -log c:\mylog\silent_install_log.xml
- ./IBMIM --launcher.ini silent-install.ini -input
/response_files/install_product.xml -log /mylog/silent_install_log.xml
Results
When the silent installation is complete, a status of
0 is
returned. If the installation cannot complete, a non-zero number is
returned. When you run the Installation Manager installer, it reads
the response file and (optionally) writes to a log file to the directory
specified. If you specified a log file and directory, the log file
is empty when the operation is successful.
What to do next
If you selected the Installation and Configuration features
of the IBM Infrastructure Management
Dashboards for Servers, perform the following tasks:
- Restart IBM Dashboard Application
Services Hub if it was not restarted during the installation. A restart
is required so that IBM Dashboard
Application Services Hub can display the online help for Infrastructure
Management Dashboard for Servers.
- Verify the dashboard data provider is enabled in the portal server
configuration. See Verifying the dashboard data provider is enabled.
- Then, see Preparing your dashboard environment in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Administrator's
Guide for
additional configuration steps required to set up authentication and
authorization for dashboard users. This topic also contains information
about creating a data provider connection from IBM Dashboard Application Services Hub to the IBM Tivoli Monitoring
dashboard data provider component of the portal server.
- For more information about launching and using IBM Infrastructure Management Dashboard for Servers,
see the Windows OS Agent User's Guide,
the Linux OS Agent User's Guide,
or the UNIX OS Agent User's Guide.
If you only selected the Installation feature of the IBM Infrastructure Management Dashboards
for Servers, review the dashboard application's deployment scripts
and then use the Modify operation of IBM Installation Manager to deploy
the dashboard application into IBM Dashboard
Application Services Hub. See Configuring the IBM Infrastructure Management Dashboards for Servers package after installation.
If
you installed Tivoli Authorization
Policy Server and tivcmd Command Line Interface, perform the following
steps:
- See Verifying the Tivoli Authorization Policy Server installation for steps to verify
that the installation was successful.
- If you only selected the installation feature of the Tivoli Authorization Policy Server, review
the authorization policy server's deployment scripts and then use
the Modify operation of IBM Installation Manager to deploy the authorization
policy server into IBM Dashboard
Application Services Hub. See Configuring the Tivoli Authorization Policy Server feature after installation.
- If you selected both the installation and configuration features
of Authorization Policy Server, perform the following tasks:
- If you selected the option for a manual restart of Dashboard Application
Services Hub, you must restart the application server for Dashboard
Application Services Hub before the Authorization Policy Server can
be used with the tivcmd CLI to create authorization policies.
- Use the tivcmd CLI to create authorization policies. The user
credentials that you specified during the Authorization Policy Server
installation are assigned to the PolicyAdministrator role. You must
use these credentials with the tivcmd Command Line Interface to log
in to the Authorization Policy Server and assign other administrators
permission to create and work with authorization policy roles.
The IBM Tivoli Monitoring Administrator's
Guide provides
examples of creating authorization policies for common scenarios in
the Using role-based authorization policies chapter. Steps
for configuring a dashboard environment to use authorization policies
are in the Preparing your dashboard environment chapter. For
a complete list of tivcmd CLI commands, see the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Command Reference.
