Installing the product

    Run the following command to stop the deployment manager:

    • [For Linux operating system][For Unix operating system] ./stopManager.sh
    • [For Windows operating system] stopManager.bat

  3. Complete all of the required fields on the wizard panels.

    Optionally, select the check box to add the product to the centralized installation manager repository if you are installing Virtual Enterprise or Compute Grid. Click Browse to specify the location of the repository. The option to add the product to the centralized installation manager repository is unavailable if you previously chose not to install the repository when you installed Virtual Enterprise, or if you install other product packages without installing Virtual Enterprise.

    Tip: Use the same CD or DVD to install the product on the nodes.
