use the Installation
Manager GUI.
Procedure
- Choose your preferred topology. Jazz for Service
Management supports
one or multiple server topologies so that you can install integration
services on different servers depending on your needs. See Custom installation scenario. To silently install Jazz for Service
Management
integration services, its database server, application server, Tivoli Common Reporting on a
single server only, use the launchpad custom workflow. See Custom installations by using launchpad custom workflow.
- Ensure that your target environments meet the hardware
and software requirements for Jazz for Service
Management and
its integration services. See Hardware and software
requirements.
- Set up a local file system for the installation images.
See Setting up a local file system for a custom installation.
- If you want to use an alternative temporary directory when
you install the integrations services, see Specifying an alternative temporary directory for installation.
- If you do not want to install Jazz for Service
Management and
its supporting middleware to the default installation locations, you
must modify the Prerequisite Scanner configuration
files to check whether these non-default locations have the required
available disk space. See Editing default configuration files for non-default installation locations.
Attention: You do not need to modify the configuration
files if you perform a custom installation by using the launchpad
custom workflow.
- On each target Jazz for Service
Management server,
run Prerequisite Scanner to
scan and verify that your target environment meets the hardware and
software requirements for Jazz for Service
Management.
See Running Prerequisite Scanner by using convenience scripts.
- Set up DB2® on the
target database server. It is required by Registry Services or Tivoli Common
Reporting only.
- If you do not have a browser on the target server, you
cannot use the launchpad. You can use Installation
Manager.
- Install Installation
Manager,
if it is not already installed. See Installation
Manager.
- If you use Installation
Manager in
GUI mode, set up the Installation
Manager repositories
from which the software packages are retrieved for installation. See Setting up Installation Manager repositories.
What to do next
Access and run the installation programs from your local
file system and perform the custom installation. Choose which integration
services to install on one or more servers. See Custom installations by using launchpad custom workflow, Custom installations by using Installation Manager, or Custom installations by using silent mode.
