Obtaining an Installation Manager installation kit for installing the product on z/OS

The installation kit for the IBM Installation Manager is provided with the IBM® WebSphere® Portal product as FMID HGIN140. You can also download the IBM Installation Manager installation kit to your z/OS® system.

Procedure

  • To install the IBM Installation Manager installation kit with SMP/E:
    • If you ordered the WebSphere Portal product as part of a ServerPac or SystemPac, the IBM Installation Manager installation kit will already be installed.

      Mount the installation kit file system at /usr/lpp/InstallationManager/V1R5 or a location of your choice.

    • If you ordered the WebSphere Portal product as part of a Custom-Built Product Delivery Offering (CBPDO), the IBM Installation Manager installation kit will be included in the CBPDO as FMID HGIN140. Install this product following the instructions in the Installation Manager program directory.

      Mount the installation kit file system at /usr/lpp/InstallationManager/V1R5 or a location of your choice.

  • To install the IBM Installation Manager installation kit from a downloaded compressed file:

    See the IBM Installation Manager Information Center for download and extraction instructions.

    Mount the resulting installation kit file system at /usr/lpp/InstallationManager/V1R5 or a location of your choice.

    The installation kit file system can be mounted read-only after it is installed with SMP/E or downloaded and extracted. It is not modified during Installation Manager processing.

What to do next

When the Installation Manager installation kit is available on your z/OS system, you can use it to create an Installation Manager.
