Creating an Installation Image for Update Manager

About this task

When the machine, on which you want to install Update Manager, does not have internet connection, you can create an Update Manager installation image on a different machine that is connected to the internet. You can then copy the created image to the machine that is not connected to the internet and install Update Manager.

To create an installation image:

Procedure

Start the Update Manager Installer wizard.
From the Update Manager Installer wizard home page, open the Advanced Options and select the Images tab.
Select Use installation image.
Click Create image and:
- Browse to the directory, in which to save the image file, and type a name for the image file.
- Select the operating system on which you want to install Update Manager from the image. By default, the bootstrap installer selects the operating system of the machine, on which you started the installer wizard.
- Select Include product fixes if you want to include in the image the fixes from Passport Advantage Online for all IBM products that apply for the operating system you selected.
  When Include product fixes is not selected, the created image can only be used to install and update Update Manager.

Results

After you create an installation image, you can select it in Install from image (in the Advanced Options of the wizard) and then the Update Manager installer will use the image to install Update Manager. Note that the image file should be always located on the same machine, on which you install Update Manager.
