When you install or upgrade IBM Integration Bus, you can access DVDs on the local system, or you
can set up a shared drive and access the shared resource from multiple
computers.
You
can also install or upgrade from installation images that you have
obtained from Passport Advantage®, if you are registered with this scheme:
- Read the instructions that are provided with the packages.
- Download the images that you require for the operating
systems in your environment.
- Extract the contents of the images. Specify a short path
for the directory to which you are extracting; the depth of directory
structure and the directory names might cause problem if restrictions
on some operating systems are reached. For example, the limit of 256
characters on Windows might
be exceeded.
- Set up the local or remote access to these images in the
same way that you do for a DVD.
For local installations, see Accessing DVDs on the local system; for
remote installations, see Accessing DVDs on a remote system.
If you are installing on Windows,
you cannot enter a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path (\\server\drive)
to access the installation program; you must map the drive, otherwise
the Java™ process times out.
If you cannot map the drive, or choose not to map the drive, copy
the contents of the DVD to a local drive and install from that drive.
