Non-interactive installation of IBM MQ client on Solaris
Before you begin
- Before you start the installation procedure, make sure that you have completed the necessary steps outlined in Preparing the system.
- This procedure is for the installation of a standard IBM MQ client, from the location of the installation file. The location might be the mount point of the DVD, a network location, or a local file system directory.
- If you are using a server DVD, follow the steps in Installing IBM MQ server on Solaris, and select the appropriate client components in step 8.
About this task
You can perform a silent installation of IBM MQ. A sample script file called silent.sh
is supplied in the silent
directory on the DVD. You can use this script to perform a non-interactive installation that requires no input and shows nothing on the screen. It must be run as root.
The installation script silent.sh
uses an admin
file and a response
file, both of which are supplied in the silent
directory. You can use these files as supplied to perform a silent installation of all the components, including all the national language features, to the default location.
Note: If you are installing on the Solaris 11 operating system, ensure that the IPS package (package/svr4) that supports
pkgadd
and equivalent utilities is installed.
Procedure
What to do next
- If you have chosen this installation to be the primary installation on the system, you must now set it as the primary installation. Enter the following command at the command prompt:
You can have only one primary installation on a system. If there is already a primary installation on the system, you must unset it before you can set another installation as the primary installation. For more information, see Changing the primary installation.MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH
/bin/setmqinst -i -pMQ_INSTALLATION_PATH
- You might want to set up the environment to work with this installation. You can use the setmqenv or crtmqenv command to set various environment variables for a particular installation of IBM MQ. For more information, see setmqenv and crtmqenv.
