With IBM® Installation
Manager you can create a local repository that specifies where to
find the components to install. The repository can be on the local
file system or on connected installation media.
You then use one of the following IBM Installation
Manager modes to install and configure the components in the repository:
- Wizard mode, which uses a graphical user interface.
- Console mode, which allows you to perform the installation from
a command line.
- Silent installation mode, which uses a response file to determine
what to install and configure.
For more information about IBM Installation
Manager and supported repository types, see
http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/install/v1r6/index.jsp.
You can install one or more of the IBM Tivoli® Monitoring components
for a dashboard environment from the same local repository. The topics
that follow this section outline how to use the graphical user interface
and console mode to create a local repository for the components.
For details on the silent installation mode, see Performing a silent installation of software packages using IBM Installation Manager.
You can also set up a separate local repository for the Jazz™ for Service Management components
if you want to use IBM Installation
Manager to install those components instead of using the Jazz for Service Management installation launchpad
application. Then, you can use IBM Installation
Manager to install the Jazz for
Service Management and IBM Tivoli Monitoring components
for a dashboard environment at the same time.
Note: - If you use IBM Installation
Manager to install Jazz for
Service Management, you cannot install the Tivoli Common Reporting component of Jazz for Service Management. You
must use the Jazz for Service
Management installation launchpad to install the Tivoli Common Reporting component. For more
details about using IBM Installation
Manager repositories to install Jazz for
Service Management, see the Jazz for
Service Management Installation Guide at http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v3r1/topic/com.ibm.psc.doc_1.1.0/install/psc_c_install.html.
- You cannot use IBM Installation
Manager console mode to install Jazz for
Service Management. However, the graphical user interface and silent
mode are supported.
