Installation packages

If you are installing OMEGAMON products and Tivoli Management Services components for the first time, you will find familiar IBM® fulfillment methods (such as Shopz), installation tools (such as SMP/E or InstallShield), and installation documentation, including a program directory. You should be aware of the contents of your installation packages.

Product tapes (or their electronic representation) are in the standard IBM relfile format that IBM software manufacturing uses to create the tape images for installation systems such as ServerPac and CBPDO. If you receive your product through CBPDO, maintenance is included on the media for you to install. If you receive your product as part of a ServerPac or SystemPac, maintenance is preinstalled.

You can order a ServerPac that includes your mainframe Tivoli products with or without the z/OS® operating system. For a list of the Tivoli products you can include in a ServerPac, see the Shopz product catalog.
Important: The shared components of the IBM Tivoli Management Services on z/OS product are not automatically included in the product package for a monitoring agent on z/OS systems. Be sure to include IBM Tivoli Management Services on z/OS in your order. If you have not ordered any monitoring agents on a z/OS system but you want to install a monitoring server on a z/OS system, you can order IBM Tivoli Management Services on z/OS by itself. The IBM Tivoli Management Services on z/OS product includes both mainframe and distributed components of Tivoli Management Services (IBM Tivoli Monitoring).
