You can install Tivoli® Netcool® Performance Manager on a single server by using a response file to provide the necessary configuration information.

About this task

Response files that are provided with some distributions provide all of the information necessary for an unattended installation. Check the Release Notes to see if your software distribution includes a response file.

Note: If you are using a response file, ensure that all required software packages are in the expected locations.

Note: If you want to install Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager in a directory other than the default directory: /appl/virtuo, specify the directory by using the -wmcr switch.

```
