If you are installing on a target machine that is not listed in the operating systems supported by ISMP, you cannot use ISMP to install directly on that machine. This is the case, for example, when installing on z/Linux.
In this case, you must first install the QMF for WebSphere files on a machine that is supported by ISMP as described in Installation on a platform supported by ISMP, and then manually transfer the files to the target machine. In order to transfer the files, you should package them in an archive file in a format that is supported by both machines (such as *.zip or *.tar file), transfer the archive file (in binary mode), and then unpackage them on the target machine.
