Before you begin the installation, read these topics and
decide how you will install the software and licenses.
Verifying and extracting electronic images
If you download the installation files from IBM® Passport Advantage®, you must extract the electronic image from the compressed
files before you can install the software. Always verify the completeness
of the downloaded files before extracting the image.
Specifying the repository
A repository is a location for storing installation or
update package data. By default, IBM Installation
Manager uses an embedded URL in each product package to connect to
a repository server through the Internet and search for available
install packages and new features. You can set these repository locations
on the Repositories page of the Preferences window. Your organization
might require you to redirect the repository to use intranet sites.
