Executing the installer

The installer is entirely driven by the DOIM Command Line Interface (CLI). Therefore, it must be executed from the Control Node in the <DOIM_HOME>/bin directory.

Step 1 - Interactively collecting user input

This step will guide you to interactively collect user input and store it as a response file. This file will later be used to generate the initial Domain Master Configuration (DMCFG).

Most interactive questions correspond directly with the variables listed in the Domain Master Configuration Reference.

Each question will indicate the corresponding DMCFG variable name, allowing you to quickly look them up in the provided reference.

You will be prompted to create an Ansible Vault password, which you will need to input whenever passwords are managed by the DOIM CLI. This password is crucial for DOIM and should be treated with care.

To begin the interactive phase, run the following command:

doim.sh rspfile-create

This command collects the input without installing any components and generates the initial DMCFG, storing it locally on the Control Node.

Step 2 - Installing the product code and deploying the initial DMCFG on managed nodes

The installation of the product code and the deployment of the initial DMCFG on the managed nodes is performed by executing the following command:

doim.sh domain-install

The process may take some time, depending on the number of managed nodes and network/storage speeds. Once completed, the product and the initial DMCFG will be available on each managed node. Note that the product will remain in a shutdown state.
