Installing Websphere Application Server with swinstall utility

[Gian Filippo]

Hi all,
I need to know if is possible to install a Websphere Application Server product using the swinstall utility on HP-UX 11i.

Thank you,
Gian Filippo

If the utility comes in sd/ux depot format:

Lets say the name is: websphere.depot

its sitting in /tmp

swinstall -s /tmp/websphere.depot \*

What I need to know is if Websphere App Server is shipped in sd/ux depot format or if someone has already Installed it using swinstall.
Thank you for prompt support

Gian,

I have seen this app listed in the swlist output of some of my customers' systems, which would imply that it was installed using swinstall. However, after quickly scanning the install info on IBM's website, it appears that they utilize their own installer. (I wouldn't doubt that their installer then calls swinstall, but I have no way to easily verify that.)

If you want to search IBM's documentation, here's a link to the WebSphere info library:

If you don't get a definite answer from somebody on this forum, please post your findings for everybody's benefit. Thanks, and I hope this is helpful.

Best Regards,

Dave

By the way...I guess I could have cleaned up the link a bit. This is a bit better...

Hi all,
after many tests my final consideration about the issue is that it is not possible to install Websphere Application Server with swinstall.
Thank you for all prompt responses
