With IBM® Installation
Manager you can set up a central repository that contains one or more
installation packages. This repository is created by using the IBM Packaging Utility and is accessed
using HTTP from each of the computer systems where you install the IBM Tivoli® Monitoring
components for a dashboard environment.
For more information about the IBM Packaging
Utility, go to http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/install/v1r6/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.cic.auth.ui.doc%2Fhelpindex_pu.html.
On each computer system where you want to install one of the IBM Tivoli Monitoring
components for a dashboard environment, you use one of the following IBM Installation Manager modes to
configure the location of the network repository and 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 network repository. The
topics that follow this section provide information about using the
graphical user interface and console modes to use a network repository
to install and configure these 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 the network repository to include the Jazz™ for Service Management components
if you want to use IBM Installation
Manager to install them from a central HTTP server 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 the Jazz for Service Management Installation
Guide and more details on using IBM Installation
Manager repositories to install Jazz for
Service Management, go to http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v3r1/topic/com.ibm.psc.doc_1.1.0/install/psc_c_install.html.
- IBM Installation Manager
console mode cannot be used to install Jazz for
Service Management. However, the graphical user interface and silent
mode are supported.
