Chapter 41. Unattended DB2 Installation on OS/2 Workstations

During a regular installation, you interact with the install program, filling in a series of panels to set up and configure the DB2 product.

In an unattended installation, these tasks run automatically without any intervention by you. The setup and configuration data is supplied by response files you set in place beforehand.

You can use this feature to install DB2 products on OS/2 operating systems:

• Locally, from a CD-ROM (refer to "Installing DB2 Products from a Code Server Hard Disk or CD-ROM").

• Remotely, across a network connection from a code server hard disk/CD-ROM (refer to "Installing DB2 Products from a Code Server Hard Disk or CD-ROM").

• Remotely, using SystemView LAN if it is installed on your system (refer to "Installing DB2 Products Remotely Using SystemView LAN").

If you need to install the same DB2 product on several machines, you can use unattended installation's "response file" feature to create a customized configuration, save the customized response file, then reuse it as a template for each installation.
