The silent installation is performed by recording either
a GUI or a text-based installation, then running the recorded installation
in silent mode. For silent installations, you are required to download
the IBM Installation Manager, which starts up and runs the installation.
About this task
Silent installations are performed in two
phases:
- Recording one or more silent installation response.xml files
- Running a silent response.xml installation file
You can modify and use the
response.xml file
to run the installation again. Optionally, you can also record multiple
silent installation files, which enable you to apply alternative settings
for different installation scenarios.
