Supermarket Belongs to the Community

Supermarket belongs to the community. While Chef has the responsibility to keep it running and be stewards of its functionality, what it does and how it works is driven by the community. The chef/supermarket repository will continue to be where development of the Supermarket application takes place.

IBM Installation Manager Cookbook

Fork alert

This cookbook has been forked from
https://github.com/Sainsburys/ibm-installmgr

Scope

This cookbook installs IBM Installation Manager and provides resources for installing IBM packages with a response file.

This cookbook currently uses the Installation Manager Installer method rather than Installation manager to install packages. For more details see http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSDV2W_1.8.4/com.ibm.silentinstall12.doc/topics/c_installing_differences.html

Group install mode has not been tested. Only admin and nonAdmin have.

Requirements

  • Chef 12.5 or higher
  • Installation Media for Installation manager and any other packages. This can be sourced from an online repository like IBM PassportAdvantage, or from your own download link. Supports tar, tar.gz and zip.
  • Installation Kits may need to be packaged into a single folder. For example the Websphere installation kit comes in 3 folders disk1, disk2 and disk3. Make sure all disks are in the same folder like so:

    • WAS/
    • WAS/disk1/
    • WAS/disk2/
    • WAS/disk3/
    • WAS/repository.config

Platforms

  • Centos 6
  • Red Hat Enterprise 6
  • Centos 7
  • Red Hat Enterprise 7

Usage

See the test cookbook in test/fixtures/cookbooks/ibm-im-test for examples.

ibm_fixpack

Similar to ibm_package but specifically installs an IBM fixpack. All parameters are exactly the same as ibm_package.

Example
# ... omitted required ibm_secure_storage_file resource.

ibm_fixpack 'WAS ND Fixpack' do
  package 'com.ibm.websphere.ND.v85_8.5.5008.20151112_0939,core.feature,ejbdeploy,thinclient,embeddablecontainer,com.ibm.sdk.6_64bit'

  secure_storage_file '/root/MySecureStorageFile'
  action :install
end

Parameters

Exactly the same as parameters for ibm_package

Actions
  • :install

ibm_response_file

A simple wrapper around the template resource to create a response file for the ibm_package_response resource. You can use the template resource directly if you like.

Example
ibm_response_file '/opt/IBM/response_files/my_was_response.xml' do
  cookbook 'ibm-im-test'
  template_source 'was_response.xml.erb'
  variables({
    :key1 => 'val1'
  })
end

Parameters
  • :package, The package application id to install. Eg 'com.ibm.websphere.ND.v85_8.5.5000.20130514_1044', String required: true, default: nil, name_property: true
  • response_file, Path to create the response file. String
  • group, File group. String, default: 'ibm-im'
  • owner, File owner. String, default: 'ibm-im'
  • template_source, String, default: nil
  • cookbook, String, default: nil
  • variables, [Hash], default: nil
Actions
  • :create

ibm_package_response

NOTE: It's easier and more intuitive to use the ibm_package command and pass in properties and preferences instead of this resource.

Installs an IBM package using a response file.
Please note you may need to create and required users and directories mentioned in the response file first. You do not need to accept the license or set the accessRights in the response file, this is handled with the command.

Example
ibm_package_response 'com.ibm.websphere.ND.v85' do
  response_file '/opt/IBM/response_files/my_was_response.xml'
  action :install
end

Parameters
  • response_file, String, name_property: true, required: true
  • imcl_dir, String, default: '/opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools'
  • log_dir, String, default: '/var/ibm/InstallationManager/logs'
  • pkg_group, Only used to for log_dir. String, default: 'ibm-im'
  • pkg_owner, Only used to for log_dir String, default: 'ibm-im'
  • access_rights, String, default: 'nonAdmin', regex: /nonAdmin|admin|group$/
Actions
  • :install

ibm_secure_storage_file

Creates an encrypted Eclipse Storage file to store password credentials to repositories such as IBM passport Advantage.

Example
ibm_secure_storage_file '/root/MySecureStorageFile' do
  master_pw_file '/root/MyMasterPassFile'
  master_pw 'mypassphrase'
  passport_advantage true
  username 'myemail@somedomain.com'
  password 'mypass'
end
Parameters
  • secure_file, String, name_property: true
  • master_pw_file, Contains the password to access the secure_file. String
  • master_pw, password to put in master_pw_file. String, default: nil
  • url, String, default: 'http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/entitled/repository.xml'
  • passport_advantage, Set to true when credentials are to access passportAdvantage. The url will be ignored if set. [TrueClass, FalseClass], default: false
  • username, String, default: nil
  • password, For encrypting the secure file. String, default: nil
  • imutilsc_dir, Path to imutilsc binary. You shouldn't need to change this from the default. String, default: '/opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools'

    Actions
  • :create
