The responsefile.pct.NDstandAloneProfile.txt file is a sample response file for creating a stand-alone application server profile during the silent installation of the Network Deployment product.
Create a stand-alone application server profile with an options response file after logging on as root on a platform such as AIX or Linux, or a user that belongs to the administrator group on a Windows platform. Some steps of the installation procedure on a Windows platform require the user to belong to the administrator group and to have the advanced user rights Act as part of the operating system and Log on as a service.
The response file is shipped with default values.
pctWindows.exe -options "myresponsefile.txt" -silent
A problem occurs when the -silent option exists in the file. The file works with the option during a direct call to the Profile Creation wizard, but fails when called from a silent product installation. See Customizing the response file for information about creating a profile silently during a silent product installation.
The option is unnecessary. Avoid using the option to avoid problems.
The example options response files are in two locations.
Location:
Product disk location | Installed location |
---|---|
/WAS directory | app_server_root/bin/ProfileCreator directory |
Use the file on the product disk to install the Network Deployment product silently and create a profile.
After installing the Network Deployment product, you can use the installed response file with the -options parameter on the Profile Creation wizard command.
Profile | Required disk space | Required temp space |
---|---|---|
Deployment manager profile | 30 MB | 40 MB |
Custom profile | 10 MB | 40 MB |
Application server profile | 200 MB | 40 MB |
The sample options response file, responsefile.nd.txt , controls the first part of the installation and can also start the second part of the installation. To create a profile as part of installing the core product files, use the option in the responsefile.nd.txt file that identifies the response file for creating a profile. The profile response file lets you use the Profile Creation wizard silently.
When the core product files exist, create a profile at any time using the Profile Creation wizard. Start the wizard from the First steps console or directly using the Profile Creation wizard command.
See Troubleshooting installation for more information.
Consider the following recommendations when supplying names for the profile and other objects.
Naming the profile
-W profilenamepanelInstallWizardBean.profileName
Avoiding reserved names
-W nodehostnamepanelInstallWizardBean.nodeName=""
-W nodehostnamepanelInstallWizardBean.hostName=""
-W setnondmgrcellnameinglobalconstantsInstallWizardBean.value=""
-W nodehostandcellnamepanelInstallWizardBean.nodeName=""
-W nodehostandcellnamepanelInstallWizardBean.hostName=""
-W nodehostandcellnamepanelInstallWizardBean.cellName=
Node and cell name considerations
The
number of characters in the profile_root must
be no more than 80 characters.
See Host name values for more information.
