This procedure has three parts: downloading the installation
files, recording a response file, and running the silent installation. IBM® Installation Manager is used
only to record the response file.
Procedure
- Download the Rational® product
from IBM Passport Advantage®.
- Download the IBM Rational Enterprise Deployment
v7.1 platform installation files from IBM Passport Advantage.
The Rational Enterprise
Deployment files are a part of the same eAssembly as the Rational product. For background information,
see Rational Enterprise Deployment files.
- Extract the installation files for both the Rational product and Installation Manager
to a shared network drive. Here are some examples of directories
on the shared network drive that contain the extracted files:
Windows® systemsC:\installation_files\Rational_product
C:\installation_files\EnterpriseCD-platform\InstallationManager
Linux® or UNIX® systems/installation_files/Rational_product
/installation_files/EnterpriseCD-platform/InstallationManager
- Locate the agent.installer.platform-version.zip file
in the InstallationManager directory. Extract this file to the InstallationManager
directory.
After
extracting the file, you can determine the version of Installation
Manager by checking the config.ini file. For
more information, see Determining the version of Installation Manager.
