Question 1
Q1A Senior Administrator is planning a silent installation of IBM WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment v9.0.5 on a Linux server. The administrator has created a response file named install_response.xml and validated it. Which command syntax correctly initiates the installation using IBM Installation Manager in silent mode, ensuring that the license is accepted and the process runs in the background without a GUI?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
The imcl command is the command-line interface for Installation Manager. The input flag specifies the response file. The -acceptLicense flag is mandatory for silent installs. While imcl implies no GUI by default when arguments are passed, it is the standard tool. Note: The -s flag is not standard for imcl but the structure imcl input -acceptLicense is the canonical method. Option B is the most syntactically correct representation of the required flags order and usage found in standard documentation.
