Running ISA Lite to check prerequisites
To determine if your system is ready to install IBM® InfoSphere® Information Server, run the IBM Support Assistant Lite for InfoSphere Information Server (ISA Lite) tool. The Prerequisite Checker that is included with ISA Lite evaluates your system to determine whether required packages are installed, if kernel parameters are too low for a successful installation, or if potential problems exist with environment variables.

About this task
Procedure
- Run the tool in console mode to create a response file. You can use this response file to run the same script in the future without reentering all of your information.
- Run the Prerequisites Checker to evaluate your system. You can run the Prerequisites Checker before starting a new installation of InfoSphere Information Server or before you start an upgrade to a new version.
- View the generated reports to see the prerequisites that passed and failed. Correct any failed prerequisites and then run the tool again.
