The IBM SmartCloud Entry installer supports three installation types: console, graphical (swing), and silent.
The installer supports three operating systems: 64-bit AIX on Power®, 64-bit Linux, and Windows. For AIX and Linux, the default installation type is console and the default installation type for Windows is graphical. To install IBM SmartCloud Entry using a non-default installation type, start the installer from the command line and run -i <install type> where <install type> is console, silent, or swing.
As an alternative to using the IBM SmartCloud Entry installer, on System x®systems you can deploy the IBM SmartCloud Entry virtual appliances for System x. For more information, see Chapter 10, “Deploying IBM SmartCloud Entry Virtual Appliances for System x,” on page 47.
