WebSphere Extended Deployment, Version 6.0.x
             Operating Systems: Linux, Windows


Silent installation

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.

Before you begin

You must have Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator installed on your machine.

About this task

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.

Procedure

  1. Place the image on your target machine or machines.

    [Version 6.0 only] Copy the install image to the /install/imgwasxd directory.

    [Version 6.0.1 and later] With WebSphere Extended Deployment Version 6.0.1 and later, you can configure a file repository to store the installation images. When you use a file repository, the software images exist in the file repository only. When the installation workflow runs, the workflow deploys the software images onto the target systems automatically from the file repository. See Configuring a Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator file repository for more information.

  2. Copy the xdsetup.response silent response file to the %TIO_HOME%\repository\IBM\WebSphere directory.

Results

Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator can use workflows to install WebSphere Extended Deployment onto your nodes.

What to do next

For Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator Version 3.1 to work with WebSphere Extended Deployment, configure a WebSphere Extended Deployment model in the Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator data center model. See Configuring WebSphere Extended Deployment in the Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator data center model for more information.
