Installing on new operating systems

New operating system support can be introduced with a fix pack 4.1.0.<f>, where <f> is the respective fix pack number.

Installing the middleware software

The middleware versions that are bundled as part of System Automation Application Manager version 4.1 might not be sufficient for newly supported operating systems. Before you install System Automation Application Manager, check the DB2 service level that is required to support the new operating system versions. If a service level higher than the one that you receive when you order System Automation Application Manager 4.1 is required, download that version from the respective download site. Install DB2 as described in Installing a DB2 server by using the new DB2 version.

Starting with fix pack 4.1.0.6, 64- bit Jazz for Service Management is required to be chosen during the installation. Therefore, the version of Jazz for Service Management that you receive when you order System Automation Application Manager 4.1 is not sufficient for any fix pack installation. For more information, see Installing a new Jazz for Service Management version.

Installing System Automation Application Manager

An installation of System Automation Application Manager version 4.1.0.6 as described in Installing System Automation Application Manager is only possible on the set of operating system versions that are initially supported for version 4.1.0.6. Support for other operating system versions can be added with fix packs at a later point in time. Newly added operating system versions are referred as "new operating system support". If you want to install a fix pack on an already supported operating system, upgrade you installation as described in Installing fix packs.
To check which new operating system support is introduced with which fix pack, see Supported operating systems. If new operating system support is introduced with a fix pack, this fix pack must be installed as an initial installation rather than an upgrade installation. Therefore, it is required to copy the 4.1 license file into the EEZ410<f><platform>/license directory before you start the fix pack installation:
  1. Obtain a System Automation Application Manager license file that is contained in one of the 4.1 release deliverables:
    Product DVD
    Use one of the DVDs listed in Packaging to obtain the license. You can find the license file that is named eez41.lic in directory EEZ4100<platform>/license.
    Electronic distribution
    Use one of the archive files that are listed in Packaging to obtain the license. Extract the archive file. In the expanded directory tree, you can find the license file that is named eez41.lic in directory EEZ4100<platform>/license.
  2. Extract the 4.1.0.<f> fix pack archive file that contains the new operating systems support as described in Packaging. In the expanded directory tree, directory EEZ410<f><platform>/license is empty.
  3. Copy the license file into the EEZ410<f><platform>/license directory of the expanded fix pack directory tree.
  4. Start the System Automation Application Manager installation as described in Using the installation wizard. The installation program runs an initial installation of the product on the new operating system.
