Installation package

If you are installing the IBM Z® Service Management Suite for the first time, you will find familiar IBM® fulfillment methods (such as Shop zSeries), installation tools (such as SMP/E), and installation documentation, including a program directory.

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

For detailed information about the installation package contents, see the program directory for each component program.

To obtain current service recommendations and to identify current product service requirements, you can contact the IBM Customer Support Center or use S/390® SoftwareXcel to obtain the current PSP Bucket.
