New components installation methods

You can install the new components for IBM® Tivoli® Configuration Manager using any of the following different installation methods:

Installing new components using the Tivoli desktop

When installing new components using the Tivoli desktop, the images are located in the NewComponents subdirectory on the IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager, Version 4.2.3 Fix Pack 9 CD 1. The Tivoli desktop can upgrade the same product on multiple workstations sequentially.

The basic procedure for using the Tivoli desktop to upgrade a product is as follows:

  1. From the Tivoli desktop, select:
    Adding a new component
    Install->Install Product
  2. Select the media and component to be upgraded or added.
  3. Select the workstations where the component is to be upgraded or added.
  4. Click Install.

For detailed information about using the Tivoli desktop to install or upgrade products, see Tivoli Enterprise: Installation Guide.

Installing new components using the CLI

Use the winstall command to install new components.

winstall command

When using the winstall command to install a product, you specify the following information on the command line:

Example:

winstall -c CD-ROM/NewComponents -i index_file managed_node installation_options

where:

-c CD-ROM/NewComponents
Specifies the path to the images on the IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager, Version 4.2.3 Fix Pack 9 CD 1.
-i index_file
Specifies the product installation index file.
managed_node
Specifies the managed node on which you want to install the new component.
installation_options
Specifies the installation options.

For detailed information about using the winstall command, see Tivoli Management Framework: Reference Manual.

Installing new components using SIS

When installing new components using Tivoli Software Installation Service, select the component to be installed using the component name shown in Table 75.

Tivoli Software Installation Service does not distinguish between products and fix packs. Whether the installation image is used for an installation or upgrade, Tivoli Software Installation Service refers to all installation images as products.

Tivoli Software Installation Service can install multiple products on multiple workstations in parallel. This software can install several products on several computer systems in less time than using the installation methods provided by Tivoli Management Framework.

The basic procedure for using Tivoli Software Installation Service to install products is as follows:

  1. Import the product images into the Tivoli Software Installation Service depot.
  2. Select the components to be installed.
  3. Select the workstations where each component is to be installed.
  4. Click Install.
