        X. Exit Installation Manager

   Select 1 to install software packages.

4. When you are presented with the list of software packages, select the option for the IBM Infrastructure Management Dashboards for Servers package.
   Note:

   1. You can also select the Tivoli Authorization Policy Server if you want to install it on the same system. If you select the Tivoli Authorization Policy Server package, see Installing and configuring the Tivoli Authorization Policy Server using console mode for details when you are asked to provide information specific to this package.
   2. You should not select the tivcmd Command Line Interface package since it cannot be installed at the same time as the Authorization Policy Server or infrastructure management dashboards by using console mode.
5. Select 1 to install the current version of the software package. Option 2 displays all available versions of the package.
6. IBM Infrastructure Management Dashboards for Servers is selected by default. Select N (Next) to continue.
7. Select the IBM Infrastructure Management Dashboards for Servers features to install. By default, both Installation and Configuration are selected. Select N (Next) to continue.
   Note: It is recommended to select the Infrastructure Management Dashboards for Servers Installation and Configuration features together (which is the default behavior). However, you cannot select the infrastructure management dashboards Configuration feature if you did not select the Configuration feature when IBM Dashboard Application Services Hub was installed. You also should not select the Configuration feature if you want to review the deployment scripts before they are used to deploy the infrastructure management dashboards application into IBM Dashboard Application Services Hub. If you select the Installation feature on its own, only the dashboard application binaries and install scripts are laid down in the installation directory (on Windows this location is usually C:\Program Files\IBM\JazzSM\installedDashboards\com.ibm.tivoli.itmosd and on Linux/UNIX this location is usually /opt/IBM/JazzSM/installedDashboards/com.ibm.tivoli.itmosd). If you select the Configuration feature on its own, the Installation feature is selected as well.
8. Enter your WebSphere® administrator-level user credentials (user name and password) to install the Infrastructure Management Dashboards for Servers application into IBM Dashboard Application Services Hub. The installer validates the entered credentials.
   Note: If you are installing other packages, you must supply configuration information those packages. See step 10 in Installing and configuring the Tivoli Authorization Policy Server using console mode for information about configuring the Tivoli Authorization Policy Server feature.
9. When validation is completed select N (Next) to continue.
10. Review the installation summary window and select I to proceed with the installation.
