Accessing DVDs on a remote system

Always consult your operating system documentation for exact details of this task.

If you want to perform more than one installation of one or more components, you might find that a remote server setup provides some performance benefits, particularly for the IBM® Integration Toolkit which is the largest component. You might also find this method more convenient if you want to run installations by using the silent interface.

To enable a remote installation, you must complete tasks on both the server (the computer on which the DVD is mounted) and each target system (on which you want to install the product). For details of the commands that are used in these examples, refer to the operating system documentation.

To set up a server, see Setting up the server.

To set up a target system, see Setting up the target system.
