For a silent installation of Extended Deployment using Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator, an installable image and silent response file are provided on the WebSphere Extended Deployment CD.
Use silent installation when you want Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator for a large amount of automated work. Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator can install WebSphere Extended Deployment on nodes. See Installing a remote monitor and a stand-alone ObjectGrid from WebSphere Extended Deployment silently in a mixed environment for more information about silent installs.
If you are using Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator to automate only part of the work, for example, adding a node into a node group, you do not need to perform this task. You can install WebSphere Extended Deployment using the GUI installation wizard. See Installing and configuring the product for more information.
To complete this task, you must install the image onto your target machine, and use the silent response file to set its variable in Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator.
