Silent Installation

To run a silent installation:

1. Download the installation package.

2. Create a SAVF in QGPL under the name ZSVRSAVF6.

3. Log on to the IBM i system with a user profile of *SECOFR user class with all special authorities.

4. Create a SAVF in QGPL under the name ZSVRSAVF6. This can be done by running the following command:

CRTSAVF FILE(QGPL/ZSVRSAVF6) TEXT(Zend Server 6 product save file)

5. Transfer the package by binary FTP to the SAVF ZSVRSAVF6 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

   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

   4. If requested, enter a valid user profile and password.
   5. Enter the bin command to specify a binary transfer.
   6. Transfer the save file to the IBM i system by running the following command:

   put zsvrsavf6.savf

6. 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(6ZSVRPI) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(QGPL/ZSVRSAVF6))

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

Notes:

The silent installation will not install the ZendDBi Database. For instructions on installing the ZendDBi, see ZendDBi Installation.

Zend Server for IBM i supports parallel installations of Zend Server 5.x and Zend Server 6.x on the same machine. To migrate Zend Server 5.6 configurations to your Zend Server 6.x installation, contact the Zend Support team.
