Response files provide input parameters that are used when you install from the command line or in silent mode.
There are two response files:
v installResponseProduction.txtused for installing in production mode v installReponsePOC.txtused for installing in test (proof-of-concept) mode Both are located in the directory ILMT-server-7.2.2–base/server/. Some parameters have default values that you can accept or change. Others have no default, so you must provide a value.
Note: Some parameters are passwords and are stored in the options file in unencrypted form. Ensure that this is not against the security policy of your organization before using this installation method.
Common parameters
The following parameters are required for all installations of IBM License Metric Tool, regardless of whether you are installing the server, the database or both.
Table 11. Response file parameters for all installations
Parameter Parameter key name Default
License agreement acceptance
RSP_LICENSE_ACCEPTED true
Delete the hash that flags this statement as a comment. The installation will fail if you do not explicitly agree with the license agreement by changing this statement from comment status.
Installation location RSP_TLM_ROOT
v Windows RSP_TLM_ROOT=C:\\
Program Files\\IBM\\LMT
v Linux UNIX
RSP_TLM_ROOT=/opt/IBM/LMT Specify an empty directory where the selected elements will be installed. If the directory does not exist, it is created. If the directory path contains spaces, enclose it in
double-quotation marks.
Installation type RSP_SETUP_TYPE Admin
Specify the type of installation to be performed. Possible values are:
Test Installs the selected components in test (proof-of-concept) mode. Use this type of installation to quickly check if License Metric Tool is working and if it satisfies your business needs.
Admin Installs the selected components in production mode.
Table 11. Response file parameters for all installations (continued)
Parameter Parameter key name Default
Setup: administration server component selection
RSP_ADMIN_COMPONENT true
Specify whether or not the License Metric Tool server element should be installed.
Possible values are:
true The server will be installed on this computer.
false The server will not be installed on this computer.
Note: This parameter is ignored during a proof-of-concept installation.
Setup: administration database component selection
RSP_ADMINDB_COMPONENT true
Specify whether or not the database element should be installed. Possible values are:
true The database will be installed on this computer.
false The database will not be installed on this computer.
Note: This parameter is ignored during a proof-of-concept installation.
Base configuration:
tlmsrv user password
RSP_TLM_TLMSRV_PASSWD
Specify the password to be used to authenticate the access to the database by server processes. This password is assigned to a user with ID tlmsrv that is created on the target computer when a database element is installed for the first time. The password is also stored in an encrypted form in the properties file on the server computer.
The maximum length is 20 characters and the characters allowed are: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, -, *, |, =. The password must follow the security policy of the operating system of the computer on which it will be created. If you do not set this parameter, the installation will fail.
Note: Passwords entered in this file are not encrypted. This may be a security violation in your organization.
Base configuration:
ports used by administration server
RSP_TLM_PORT 8899
The port used by the administration server console.
RSP_TLM_SSL_PORT 8888
The port used by the administration server console in secure mode.
RSP_TLM_MIN_SEC_PORT 9988
The port used for minimum security level communications.
RSP_TLM_MED_SEC_PORT 9999
The port used for medium security level communications (HTTPS server
authentication).
RSP_TLM_MAX_SEC_PORT 9977
The port used for maximum security level communications (HTTPS server and agent authentication).
Note: If any of the selected ports is already used by a different application, the installation will fail. To continue the installation and resolve the problem later, uncomment the following parameter:
v RSP_DISABLE_COMMUNICATION_WARNINGS=true
Server parameters
The following parameters are necessary only if you are installing the server on this computer.
Table 12. Parameters for silent installation of the License Metric Tool server
Parameter Parameter key name Default
Description Administration server:
remote administration database: address
RSP_TLM_DB_HOST localhost
Supply the host name or the IP address where the administration server database will be installed. If you want to the database to be installed on the same computer as the server, set this parameter to localhost.
Note: This parameter is ignored during a proof-of-concept installation.
Administration database port number
RSP_TLM_DB_PORT 50000
Specify the port number used to connect to the administration server database.
Note: This parameter is ignored during a proof-of-concept installation.
Database server user ID and password
RSP_TLM_TLMSRV_USER tlmsrv
Provide a user ID required to access the database.
Note: This parameter is ignored during a proof-of-concept installation.
Database connection validation
RSP_DISABLE_DB_CONNECTION false
Specify if the database connection is to be validated.
Note: This parameter is ignored during a proof-of-concept installation.
Setup: Use FIPS 140-2 cryptography
RSP_TLM_SERVER_FIPS_ENABLED false
Specify whether FIPS-approved encryption algorithms are to be used. Possible values are:
true FIPS 140-2 approved cryptographic algorithms are used.
false Default algorithms are used.
Database parameters
The following parameters are necessary only if you are installing the server on this computer.
Table 13. Database parameters for silent installation
Parameter Parameter key name Default
Description IBM DB2 database
server
RSP_TLM_DB_PATH
Specify where the DB2 database server is located. If you do not set this parameter, the installer will use the DB2 instance installed on the computer. If the installer detects more than one instance of DB2 on the computer, the installation will fail.
Table 13. Database parameters for silent installation (continued)
Parameter Parameter key name Default
Description Agent to server security
level
RSP_TLM_A2R_SEC_LEVEL 0
Determines the level of security to be used for communication between the agent and the server. This option is used only when installing the administration server database component. Possible values are:
0 To use unsecure communication.
1 To use secure communications with server authentication.
2 To use secure communications with client and server authentication.
Note:
1. Agents with minimum (0) and medium (1) security levels can communicate with servers that have security levels of minimum or medium, provided that both the secure and unsecure ports are configured. If the maximum security level is used, both the agent and the server must be aligned with the security level set to maximum.
2. If you select medium (1) or maximum (2) security, you must perform a series of tasks to set up and install certificates. For full information about enabling security, see the
"Security" section of the License Metric Tool infocenter.
