Running the silent installation

Installing the IBM® XDMS product using silent installation refers to using a response file to supply installation options without user interaction.

Before you begin
You must have met the following requirements:
About this task

A silent installation uses the installation wizard to install the product in silent mode, without the graphical user interface. Instead of displaying a wizard interface, the silent installation causes the installation program to read all of your responses from a file that you provide. To specify non-default options during a silent installation, you must use the response file. To install silently, you must accept the license agreement in the agreement option.

To perform the silent installation, follow these steps on the deployment manager node.

  1. Insert the XDMS installation CD into the CD-ROM drive.
  2. Select a umask that would allow the owner to read/write to the files, and allow others to access them according to the prevailing system policy. For root, a umask of 022 is recommended. For non-root users a umask of 002 or 022 could be used, depending on whether or not the users share the group.
  3. Change directories (cd) to the CD-ROM drive.
  4. Set the proper file permissions on the installer by entering the following from the command prompt:
    chmod 755 setup
  5. Run the silent installation using your customized response file. Issue the following command:
    ./setup -i silent -f response_file_path/xdms_install.rsp
    Where:
    • response_file_path is the directory path to the customized response file.
  6. Start the servers for the installed application.
    Note: During the startup, you can safely ignore any error messages that refer to problems with the UsageRecordWriter.properties file.
