Copy the IBM® Intelligent Operations Center installation
package to the installation server before
installing the product.
Before you begin
Before copying the installation package to the installation server,
make sure all the servers have been properly prepared.
Procedure
- Create a directory on the installation server for
the installation files, for example, /installHome.
- Make note of full path to the created directory. For
example, if the created directory is installHome for
the ibmadmin user, the full path would be /home/ibmadmin/installHome.
This directory path is referred to as install_home in
other installation directions.
- For each physical DVD, or ISO image downloaded from Passport
Advantage, do the following.
- Create a directory to mount the DVD. For
example, run the mkdir /mnt/ba15 command.
- Mount the DVD. For example, when using
an ISO image, run the mount -o loop ISO_directory/ISO_filename /mnt/ba15 command
where ISO_directory is the location of the ISO
image and ISO_filename is the ISO file .
- Copy the DVD contents to the directory created in step 1. For
example, when using an ISO image, run the cp /mnt/ba15/* install_home command.
- Unmount the DVD. For example, when using
an ISO image, run the umount /mnt/ba15 command.
- Change to the install_home directory.
- Run the ba15_media_prep.sh combine command. This command must be run before performing any other installation
steps.
Note: If your install_home directory is
something other than /installMedia, edit the ba15_media_prep.sh file
and change the MEDIA_BASE value to your designated install_home directory
before running the script.
This command combines
files that are split across DVDs or ISO images.
