On one of your systems, perform the following actions to record a response file that will install the product:
IBMIM.exe -skipInstall "C:\temp\imRegistry"
-record C:\temp\install_response_file.xml
./IBMIM -skipInstall /var/temp/imRegistry
-record /var/temp/install_response_file.xml
./IBMIM -skipInstall user_home/var/temp/imRegistry
-record user_home/var/temp/install_response_file.xml
Tip: When you record a new response file, you can specify the -skipInstall parameter. Using this parameter has the following benefits:
For more information, read the Installation Manager Information Center.
If you already have the product installed on a WebSphere Application Server installation on your system, a message displays indicating that the product is already installed. To create another installation of the product in another location, click Continue.
The panel also displays the shared resources directory and disk-space information.
Restrictions:
/opt/ibm/edge/
This cannot
be modified.C:\Program Files\IBM\edge\cachingproxy\
/opt/ibm/edge/lb/
This cannot
be modified.C:\Program Files\loadbalancer\IBM\edge\lb\
The beginning of this installation path
can be changed, but be aware that Installation Manager requires you
to install the product into an empty directory - in the default path
it is C:\Program Files\loadbalancer. The IBM\edge\lb portion of the path is hard coded and
cannot be modified.To correct this problem, you must install the required Microsoft hotfix for KB942589. After you apply the Microsoft hotfix, restart your system. You must restart your system before you install Load Balancer for IPv4 on Windows 2003 64-bit machines. You will need to restart your system again after completing the installation of Load Balancer for IPv4.
If you do not install the Microsoft hotfix before you install Load Balancer for IPv4 and you encounter this problem, you must uninstall Load Balancer for IPv4, install the Microsoft hotfix, and then reinstall Load Balancer for IPv4.
For example:
IBMIM.exe -skipInstall "C:\temp\imRegistry"
-keyring C:\IM\im.keyring
-record C:\temp\keyring_response_file.xml
./IBMIM -skipInstall /var/temp/imRegistry
-keyring /var/IM/im.keyring
-record /var/temp/keyring_response_file.xml
./IBMIM -skipInstall user_home/var/temp/imRegistry
-keyring user_home/var/IM/im.keyring
-record user_home/var/temp/keyring_response_file.xml
For more information, read the Installation Manager Information Center.
For example:
imcl.exe -acceptLicense
input C:\temp\keyring_response_file.xml
-log C:\temp\keyring_log.xml
./imcl -acceptLicense
input /var/temp/keyring_response_file.xml
-log /var/temp/keyring_log.xml
./imcl -acceptLicense
input user_home/var/temp/keyring_response_file.xml
-log user_home/var/temp/keyring_log.xml
For more information on keyring files, read the Installation Manager Information Center.
For example:
imcl.exe -acceptLicense
input C:\temp\install_response_file.xml
-log C:\temp\install_log.xml
-keyring C:\IM\im.keyring
./imcl -acceptLicense
input /var/temp/install_response_file.xml
-log /var/temp/install_log.xml
-keyring /var/IM/im.keyring
./imcl -acceptLicense
input user_home/var/temp/install_response_file.xml
-log user_home/var/temp/install_log.xml
-keyring user_home/var/IM/im.keyring
