To run Installation Manager in silent mode, the general form of the command is as follows:
IBMIMc.exe --launcher.ini silent-install.ini -input response_file -log log_file
Use a full path and file name for response_file and log_file.
IBMIMc.exe --launcher.ini silent-install.ini -input C:\mylog\responsefile.xml -log C:\mylog\silent_install_log.xml
IBMIM --launcher.ini silent-install.ini -input /root/mylog/responsefile.xml –log /root/mylog/silent_install_log.xml
When the Installation Manager runs in silent installation mode, it reads the response file and writes a log file to the directory that you specified. A response file is required; log files are optional. The result of this execution should be a status of 0 for success and a non-zero number for failure.
