IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Use IBM Installation Manager to install or update components from a network repository
With IBM Installation Manager you can set up a central repository that contains one or more installation or update packages. This repository is created 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 or update 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 or update the components in the repository:
- Wizard mode, which uses a graphical user interface.
- Console mode, which allows you to perform the installation or update from a command line.
- Silent installation mode, which uses a response file to determine what to install or update.
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 or update 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 Perform 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 or update 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 or update the Jazz for Service Management and IBM Tivoli Monitoring components for a dashboard environment at the same time.
- 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.
- Create a network repository connection using the IBM Installation Manager graphical user interface
Follow this procedure to use the IBM Installation Manager graphical user interface to create a connection to the network repository that contains the dashboard environment components. Complete this procedure on each computer system where you are installing or updating one of the IBM Tivoli Monitoring components for a dashboard environment.
- Create a network repository connection using the IBM Installation Manager console mode
Follow this procedure to use the IBM Installation Manager console mode to create a network repository connection that contains the IBM Tivoli Monitoring components for a dashboard environment.
