This scenario outlines how to install both a Rational® product and IBM® Installation Manager from a shared network
drive. Users enter configuration information during the installation.
Procedure
- Download the Rational product
from IBM Passport Advantage®. The Rational product installation
files include Installation Manager. You do not need to download Installation
Manager separately.
Installation Manager is compatible
with earlier versions. Later versions of Installation Manager can
install Rational products
that are shipped with previous versions of Installation Manager. You
can determine the version of Installation Manager files by checking
the config.ini file. For more information, see Determining the version of Installation Manager.
- Extract the installation files for the Rational product to a shared network drive.
Verify that the directories containing the installation files are
shared directories.
- Check user requirements before installing. Rational Team products require administrator
access.
- Mount a directory or map a shared drive from the shared
network drive to the local computer.
- Install the Rational product
and Installation Manager.
- On the local computer, open a command prompt.
- Go to the disk1 directory, which
is located on the shared network drive.
- There are two ways to start the installation:
- Go through the Installation wizard and enter configuration
information during the installation.
