The IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring Installation Launchpad simplifies the procedure for installing the Tivoli Authorization Policy Server, Tivoli Policy Command-Line Interface, and IBM Infrastructure Management Dashboards for Servers. The Installation Launchpad automatically installs IBM Installation Manager version 1.6.1 if it is not installed on the system, or if it is at an earlier version. The Installation Launchpad also configures an IBM Installation Manager local repository with the location of the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Dashboards for Servers and Authorization Policy Components DVD or DVD image, and uses the IBM Installation Manager graphical user interface to guide you through the installation and initial configuration of one or more of the IBM Tivoli Monitoring components for a dashboard environment.
When you use the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Installation Launchpad to install the IBM Infrastructure Management Dashboards for Servers and Tivoli Authorization Policy Server, IBM Dashboard Application Services Hub must already be installed on the system.
