The installms command performs the tasks that are necessary to make this system a management server and installs the required Open Source and Red Hat software. It installs the Open Source, Red Hat, and IBM software listed in Understanding CSM software requirements on the management server automatically, if it is not already installed or if it is installed at a previous level. Note that you can run the installms command as many times as you wish (if the management has already been set up, you will not get an error).
IBM suggests that you set up the /csminstall partition before you run installms. You should have done this in Step 2. Create the /csminstall partition.
Note that the CSM CD ROM also needs to be mounted before using the installms command. You should have already done this in Step 4. Install the csm.core file set.
installms -p /mnt/cdrom
The installms command establishes the CSM directories and the required files when it is run from the management server. For more information about these files and directories, see Appendix B, Understanding the installation directories and files.
