-d Device
or Directory |
Specifies the device or directory containing the images to install. |
-e LogFile |
Enables event logging. The -e flag
enables the user to append certain parts of the geninstall command output to the file specified by the LogFile variable. The LogFile variable must specify
an existing, writable file, and the file system in which the file resides
must have enough space to store the log. The log file does not wrap. |
-E ResponseFileRecord |
Creates an ISMP response file recording in the file specified by ResponseFileRecord variable. This option requires running
the ISMP installation or uninstallation interactively and completely. The
resulting response file can be used directly with the -R flag to select the same options on future installations or uninstallations
of the same product. Creation of the response file recording will also result
in installation or uninstallation of the product. |
-f File |
Specifies the file containing a list of entries to install. ISMP packaged
products must contain a J: followed by the products installer or subdirectory.
This information is given in the geninstall -L output (for example, J:product_directory or installer or J:WebSphere). |
-F |
Allows the user to reinstall a package that is already installed, or
to install a package that is older than the currently installed version. |
-I installpFlags |
Specifies the installp flags to use when calling
the installp command. The flags that are used during
an install operation for installp are the a, b, c, D, e, E, F, g, I, J, M, N, O, p, Q, q, S, t, v, V, w, and X flags. The installp flags that are not used during
install are the C, i, r , S, z, A, and l flags. The installp command
should be called directly to perform these functions. The -u, -d, -L, and -f flags should be given outside the -I flag. |
-L |
Lists the contents of the media. The output format is the same as the installp -Lc format, with additional fields at the end for
ISMP and RPM formatted products. |
-N |
Invokes the ISMP installer in no-op or preview mode for ISMP installs. |
-p |
Performs a preview of an action by running all preinstallation
checks for the specified action. |
-R ResponseFile |
Provides predetermined responses to configurable options by passing
the ResponseFile variable to the ISMP installer for
the specified ISMP-packaged product . |
-T ResponseFileTemplate |
Creates an ISMP response file template in the file specified by ResponseFileTemplate variable. The resulting template
can be used to create a reponse file for future installations or uninstallations
of the same product with the desired options. Creation of the response file
template will not result in installation or uninstallation
of the product. |
-u |
Performs an uninstall of the specified software. For ISMP products,
the uninstaller listed in the vendor database is called, prefixed by a "J:". |
-Y |
Agrees to required software license agreements for software to be installed.
This flag is also accepted as an installp flag with
the -I option. |
-Z |
Tells geninstall to invoke the installation in
silent mode. |
