With IBM® Installation
Manager you can set up a central repository that contains one or more
installation or update packages. This repository is created by using
the IBM Packaging Utility and
is accessed using HTTP from each of the computer systems where you
install the IBM Tivoli® Monitoring components for a dashboard
environment.
For more information about the IBM Packaging
Utility, go to http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/install/v1r6/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.cic.auth.ui.doc%2Fhelpindex_pu.html.
On each computer system where you want to install or update one
of the IBM Tivoli Monitoring components for a dashboard
environment, you use one of the following IBM Installation Manager modes to configure the
location of the network repository and install or update the components
in the repository:
- Wizard mode, which uses a graphical user interface.
- Console mode, which allows you to perform the installation or
update from a command line.
- Silent installation mode, which uses a response file to determine
what to install or update.
For more information about IBM Installation
Manager and supported repository types, see
http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/install/v1r6/index.jsp.
You can install or update one or more of the IBM Tivoli Monitoring
components for a dashboard environment from the same network repository.
The topics that follow this section provide information about using
the graphical user interface and console modes to use a network repository
to install and configure these components. For details on the silent
installation mode, see Performing a silent installation of software packages using IBM Installation Manager.
You can also set up the network repository to include the Jazz™ for Service Management components
if you want to use IBM Installation
Manager to install or update them from a central HTTP server instead
of using the Jazz for Service
Management installation launchpad application. Then, you can use IBM Installation Manager to install
or update the Jazz for Service
Management and IBM Tivoli Monitoring components for a dashboard
environment at the same time.
Note: - If you use IBM Installation
Manager to install Jazz for
Service Management, you cannot install the Tivoli Common Reporting component of Jazz for Service Management. You
must use the Jazz for Service
Management installation launchpad to install the Tivoli Common Reporting component. For the Jazz for Service Management Installation
Guide and more details on using IBM Installation
Manager repositories to install Jazz for
Service Management, go to http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v3r1/topic/com.ibm.psc.doc_1.1.0/install/psc_c_install.html.
- IBM Installation Manager
console mode cannot be used to install Jazz for
Service Management. However, the graphical user interface and silent
mode are supported.
