IBM Tivoli Directory Server, Version 6.3

Before you begin: .zip, .tar, and .iso files

The Tivoli Directory Server product is available in three types of files: .zip, .tar, and .iso. (There are .iso files that can be burned onto DVDs, and there are multiple .zip and .tar files that correspond to each .iso file.)

If you downloaded .zip files, uncompress the files after you download them to your computer. Uncompress all .zip files in the same directory.

If you downloaded .tar (or Tape ARchive) files, uncompress the files after you download them. Uncompress all .tar files in the same directory.

The .iso file versions of the product are used to burn installation DVDs that can then be used in the installation process. The .iso files are images that must be processed through a DVD burner program to create DVDs. When you create the DVDs, be sure that you do not make data DVDs of the .iso files. Select the option that extracts the data from the .iso files and burns the files on the DVD.

For information about the directory structure after you uncompress the file on different operating systems, see Appendix A. Directory structure of downloaded files.

After you process the downloaded files, you can install Tivoli Directory Server using the installation instructions in the appropriate installation chapter.
