Installing the fix pack silently

S. No.	Instruction	Steps
1.	Start the Installation Manager utility to encrypt the passwords for users as required.	Open a command line. Change the directory to the IM_INSTALL_LOCATION/eclipse/tools directory. Windows Run the following command to generate an encrypted password: imcl.exe encryptString password_to_encrypt UNIX/LINUX Run the following command to generate an encrypted password: ./imcl encryptString password_to_encrypt
2.	Back up the response file.	Rename the original response file to create a backup of the file: SKLM_Silent_Update_platform_Resp.xml For example: SKLM_Silent_Update_platform_Resp_original.xml The response file is located in the /sklm directory, which is within the directory where the fix pack is extracted.
3.	Edit the response file.	Windows Edit the response file SKLM_Silent_Update_platform_Resp.xml. Edit the repository location to point to the current location of the installer. Sample: <repository location='C:\sklminstall_windowsfp\wasfp\repository.config'/> <repository location='C:\sklminstall_windowsfp\sklmwasfp\repository.config'/> Edit GKLMAdmin username and password (Password need to be encrypted). Sample: <data key='user.SKLM_ADMIN_USER,com.ibm.gklm411.win> value='SKLMAdmin'/> <data key='user.SKLM_ADMIN_PASSWORD,com.ibm.gklm411.win> value='9YTRJMRIydDSdfhaHPs1ag=='/> Edit Db2 username and password (Password need to be encrypted). Sample: <data key='user.DB_ADMIN_USER,com.ibm.gklm411.win' value='klmdb411'/> <data key='user.DB_ADMIN_PASSWORD,com.ibm.gklm411.win' value='QTh/0AiFvrljhs9gnOYkGA=='/> UNIX/Linux Edit the response file: SKLM_Silent_Update_platform_Resp.xml Edit the repository location to point to the current location of the installer. Sample for Linux: <repository location='/sklminstall_linuxfp/wasfp/repository.config'/> <repository location='/sklminstall_linuxfp/sklm/repository.config'/> Edit GKLMAdmin username and password (Password needs to be encrypted). Sample: <data key='user.SKLM_ADMIN_USER,com.ibm.gklm411.linux> value='SKLMAdmin'/> <data key='user.SKLM_ADMIN_PASSWORD,com.ibm.gklm411.linux> value='9YTRJMRIydDSdfhaHPs1ag=='/> Edit the username and password of the Db2 user (Password need to be encrypted).

- Open a command line.
- Go to the WAS_HOME\bin directory.
  Windows
  C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\Liberty\bin
  Linux
  /opt/IBM/WebSphere/Liberty/bin
- Stop the IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager server.
  Windows
  server.bat stop
  Linux
  ./server.sh stop
Stop Agent on all the master servers, in any sequence.
- Open a command line.
- Go to the GKLM_INSTALL_HOME\agent directory.
  Windows
  C:\Program Files\IBM\GKLMV411\agent
  Linux
  /opt/IBM/GKLMV411/agent
- Stop the Agent.
  Windows
  stopAgent.bat WAS_HOME
  For example: stopAgent.bat "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\Liberty"
  Linux
  ./stopAgent.sh WAS_HOME
  For example: ./stopAgent.sh /opt/IBM/WebSphere/Liberty
Apply fix pack on each master server and verify the installation.
Complete this step in the following sequence:
- Primary master server
- Principal standby master server
- Auxiliary standby master servers
- Non-HADR master servers
  
  For steps to install the fix pack, see Installing the fix pack.
  To verify the installation:
