Installing on Windows systems

Install the IBM Storage Protect server and the Operations Center on the same system.

Before you begin

Make sure that the following prerequisites are met:

Verify that the operating system is set to the language that you require. By default, the language of the operating system is the language of the installation wizard.
Ensure that the user ID that you plan to use during the installation is a user with local Administrator authority.

Before you download the installation package, verify that you have enough space to store the installation files when they are extracted from the product package.
For space requirements, see the download document at technote 7275904.
Go to Passport Advantage® and download the package file to an empty directory of your choice.
Change to the directory where you placed the executable file.
Double-click the executable file to extract to the current directory.
In the directory where the installation files were extracted, start the installation wizard by double-clicking the install.bat file.
When you select the packages to install, choose both the server and Operations Center.

If errors occur during the installation process, the errors are recorded in log files that are stored in the IBM® Installation Manager logs directory.
To view installation log files from the Installation Manager tool, click File > View Log. To collect these log files from the Installation Manager tool, click Help > Export Data for Problem Analysis.
After you install the server and before you customize it for your use, go to the support site. Click Support and downloads and apply any applicable fixes.
