In this scenario, you place the electronic image on a shared
directory or drive so that users in your enterprise can access the
installation files for the product from a single location.
Procedure
To place the installation image on a shared directory
or drive, perform the following steps:
- Ensure that your shared directory or drive has sufficient
disk space to store the extracted installation image. If you plan
to download from IBM Passport Advantage® to the shared
directory, it must also have sufficient space for the downloaded files.
- From IBM Passport Advantage, download all
required parts for the product image to a temporary directory.
- Extract the installation image from the downloaded files
into an accessible directory on the shared directory or drive and
verify that the installation image is complete. For details, see Verifying and extracting electronic images.
