Creating a Response File

Record installation responses into a response file, which is a text file that you can edit to change any responses before using it in subsequent installations.

To create a response file when installing in GUI or console mode, specify the -r command line argument. The -r argument records your responses to the installation wizard’s prompts and creates a response file when the installation wizard exits.

  1. To generate a response file during installation, enter:
    • On IBM AIX:
      /ibmaix64/RMP_Suite/setupaix.bin -r responseFileName
    • On HP Itanium:
      /hpia64/RMP_Suite/setuphpia64.bin -r responseFileName
    • On Linux on POWER (IBM pSeries):
      /ibmplinux64/RMP_Suite/setuplinuxppc64.bin -r responseFileName
    • On Linux (32-bit):
      /linuxia32/RMP_Suite/setuplinux32.bin -r responseFileName
    • On Linux (64-bit):
      /linuxamd64/RMP_Suite/setuplinux64.bin -r responseFileName
    • On Sun Solaris SPARC:
      /sunsparc64/RMP_Suite/setupsolarisSparc.bin -r responseFileName
    • On Sun Solaris 10 x86/x64:
      /sunx64/RMP_Suite/setupsolarisx86.bin -r responseFileName
    where responseFileName is the file name you choose for the response file. When specifying the response file name, include its full path. For example:
    /home/sybase/RMP/ResponseFile.txt
    Note: You must provide the full path name for the response file you create.
