Installing IBM Content Search Services silently

You can install IBM® Content Search Services silently by entering installation values into an input response file and running the installation program from a command line.

Be sure that you have the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet that was completed during your planning activities.

To install IBM Content Search Services silently:

  1. Open your completed Installation and Upgrade Worksheet file.
    Tip: Tip: In the worksheet file, verify that the Data > ->Filter > ->AutoFilter command is enabled. To view only Content Search Engine values, filter by CSS Installer in the Installation or Configuration Program column.
  2. Log on to the host computer as css_install_user.
  3. Edit the css_silent_install.txt file to reflect the appropriate responses for your installation.
  4. Save the edited response file to your temporary directory.
  5. Go to the temporary directory on your local disk.
  6. Run the IBM Content Search Services installation program by running the appropriate command:
    Table 1. Silent installation commands
    Platform Command
    AIX® 5.0.0-CSS-AIX.BIN -f css_silent_install.txt -i silent
    Solaris 5.0.0-CSS-SOL.BIN -f css_silent_install.txt -i silent
    Linux® 32 bit 5.0.0-CSS-LINUX32.BIN -f css_silent_install.txt -i silent
    Linux 64 bit 5.0.0-CSS-LINUX64.BIN -f css_silent_install.txt -i silent
    Linux for System z® 5.0.0-CSS-ZLINUX.BIN -f css_silent_install.txt -i silent
    Windows® 32 bit 5.0.0-CSS-WIN32.EXE -f css_silent_install.txt -i silent
    Windows 64 bit 5.0.0-CSS-WIN64.EXE -f css_silent_install.txt -i silent
  7. Review the css_install_path/css_install_5.0.0.log log file for installation errors.

    It is a best practice to review log files even if the IBM Content Search Services installation program does not generate any errors. Some errors noted in the log files are benign. If an error is not benign (that is, you cannot then index or search for documents), see the log file for help in determining the cause.

  8. After the installation completes, verify the IBM Content Search Services service is installed and has started.
  9. For multiple server configurations, repeat this procedure for every server that you want to install.
    Important:
    You must use a different server name and port for each additional server. If you use the same server name and port as a previously installed server, the new server installation overwrites the existing server.
