Silent Installation

The following procedure describes how to install Zend Server in Silent Mode. The silent mode performs the complete installation without an installation interface

To run a silent installation:

1. Download the installation package.
   Create a SAVF in QGPL under the name ZSVRSAVF.

2. Log on to the IBM i system with a user profile of *SECOFR user class with all special authorities.
   Create a SAVF in QGPL under the name ZSVRSAVF.
   This can be done by running the following command:
   CRTSAVF FILE(QGPL/ZSVRSAVF) TEXT(Zend Server product save file)

3. Transfer the package by binary FTP to the SAVF ZSVRSAVF in QGPL.
   This can be done by executing the following steps:

   1. Verify that FTP is running on your IBM i system by running the following command and looking for 'FTP' or '21' in the Local Port column:

            NETSTAT *CNN

1. 2. Open a command prompt and change directory to the directory that contains the files you extracted from the ZIP file.

   3. Run the FTP command, specifying the name of your i5/OS system. e.g:

          ftp IBM i_system_name/TCP address

1. 4. If requested, enter a valid user profile and password.
      Enter the bin command to specify a binary transfer.

   5. Transfer the save file to the IBM i system by running the following command:

          put zsvrsavf.savf

4. When the SAVF is loaded into the IBM i QGPL library, return to your 5250 session and run the following command:

          SBMJOB CMD(RSTLICPGM LICPGM(2ZSVRPI) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(QGPL/ZSVRSAVF))

Zend Server for IBM i will be automatically installed without interactive dialogs being displayed.

Note:

The silent installation will not install the MySQL Database.
