This file (README.TXT) provides Tivoli Software Distribution, Version 3.1.5 information and limitations for the CSD XR22539 for Windows, and PTF U481091 for AIX.
This release contains various APARs for each supported platform. Full details of the APARs applicable to each platform can be found at the end of each of the platform-specific sections. The CSD and PTF each contain APARs issued in previous CSDs and PTFs released for the various platforms after the GA of version 3.1.5 of the product; there previous APARs were listed in the README files accompanying the previous CSD and PTF, and are not listed again here.
You will notice that both Tivoli® and TME® 10 are used in our sales, marketing, and product information materials. These terms are interchangeable. We will be removing references to TME 10 in future product releases.
Note: Certain characters in this file may not print correctly or at all, depending on your printer configuration, for example, the backslash (\), brackets ([ ]), the tilde (¨) and the at symbol (@).
Currently, Tivoli Software Distribution, Version 3.1.5 cannot coexist on the same workstation with:
· NetFinity Server 4.0, or later
· SystemView for OS/2
· NetView Distribution Management Agent for Windows
· NetView Distribution Management Agent for Windows NT
The following section provides details of the support and limitation criteria for Tivoli Software Distribution, Version 3.1.5 running under Microsoft Windows.
Tivoli Software Distribution, Version 3.1.5 at XR21927 CSD level supports the use of Windows 2000 Advanced Server as a platform both for the server and the client software. Please refer to the README of XR21927 CSD for details.
You should note that Tivoli Software Distribution uses NetFinity® for inventory discovery. However, NetFinity cannot distinguish between the various versions of Windows 2000 (e.g. Professional, Server and Advanced Server).
Windows NT 4.0 is supported only if you have installed Service Pack 2, or later.
Tivoli Software Distribution supports Windows 2000 Professional, Server and Advanced Server.
This CSD was tested on Windows 2000 with service pack 2 on machine with at least 128 Mb memory RAM for the Software Distribution 3.1.5 Server.
Tivoli Software Distribution for Windows 98 has the limitation that the IPX protocol does not work correctly for Windows 98.
On Windows NT and Windows 95, you might experience problems when using the Windows pull-down menu to switch from a main window to another window.
On Windows platforms, the dynamic change files preparation function for the Administration GUI is currently not available. It will be available at a later date.
On Windows platforms, if you use the Message Log via Administration GUI you might experience performance problems.
To use DiskCamera to install a change file, you must have the operating system installed in the same path on both the preparation site and target where you want to install the change file.
If one of the three steps that you perform by using DiskCamera fails, delete the \BIN\DSKCAM.TMP file before using DiskCamera again.
If you run DiskCamera on Windows 3.1x, the DPFPRE.EXE and DPFPOST.EXE files create the DSKCAM.LOG file in different directories. Usually, DPFPRE.EXE creates the DSKCAM.LOG file under <DRIVE>\SOFTDIST\BIN, and DPFPOST.EXE creates the DSKCAM.LOG file under C:\WINDOWS.
On Windows platforms, to improve the performance of the Administration GUI and enable you to use the windows effectively, it is recommended that you use a workstation with a Super VGA display and a Pentium processor.
If you create, refresh, update, or fix a change file by adding new files to it, you might experience problems when using directory or files names with embedded spaces.
On Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows 98, or Windows 95, if you select Catalog > Change File > Create New > Refresh or Update or Fix > Change File Type, the Change File window appears.
Select the Files push button. The Files in Change File window appears.
Select Find. The Open window appears. If the name of the directory you use has an embedded space, as in the following example:
aname bname
the name is shown in the list of directories as follows:
anameb¨1
If you have a file name like the following:
afile bname
the name is shown in the list of files as follows:
afileb¨1
When you install the change file in the aname bname directory, either one of the following happens:
· The change file is installed in the aname bname directory, if the directory was created from the command prompt.
· The change file is installed in the anameb¨1 directory, if the directory does not exist.
On Windows NT 3.51, the directory and file names with embedded spaces are not shown in the directory list or file list.
On Windows platforms, to avoid this problem, do not use blanks for directory or file names. As an alternative, you can write the path and file name directly in the Name field of the Change File window.
On Windows NT and Windows 2000 a user that belongs to Administrator group can issue the commands
· nvdm start
The following scenario explains how to upgrade Tivoli Software Distribution, Version 3.1.5 CSD XR22539 on Windows 2000 Professional, Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Windows NT, Windows 98, and Windows 95 on single servers and clients.
You can upgrade this CSD using an unattended way: it is the only scenario suppotred for ths CSD.
This scenario is used upgrade Tivoli Software Distribution, Version 3.1.5 Server or Client to this CSD level in an unattended way on a server or client workstation running one of the following operating systems:
· Windows 2000 Server, Professional and Advanced Server
· Windows NT
· Windows 98 (client only)
· Windows 95 (client only)
with Tivoli Software Distribution, Version 3.1.5 Server or Client, already installed.
This scenario assumes the following conditions:
· The server or client workstation is running Tivoli Software Distribution, Version 3.1.5, or Tivoli Software Distribution Version 3.1.3 with CSD XR22091, Server or Client
· The server or client workstation has a version of Windows installed which is compatible with Tivoli Software Distribution, Version 3.1.5 (see the software prerequisites section in Tivoli Software Distribution, Version 3.1.5 Quick Beginnings for Windows NT).
Before commencing the upgrade it is advisable to backup the existing Server or Client installation to be upgraded. This can be achieved by instructing the operator of the server or client workstation to simply copy all files and subdirectories within the program folder to an alternate location on the system.
This scenario uses a batch script called SDUPD.BAT. The script creates a set of change file profiles which can be used to create the change files that will be applied over the existing product installed on the target workstation.
Generic change files are created for the following packages:
· Tivoli Software Distribution, Version 3.1.5 Server for Windows 2000
· Tivoli Software Distribution, Version 3.1.5 Client for Windows 2000
· Tivoli Software Distribution, Version 3.1.5 Server for Windows NT
· Tivoli Software Distribution, Version 3.1.5 Client for Windows NT
· Tivoli Software Distribution, Version 3.1.5 Client for Windows 9x
Download the code for the change files to the code server, in the D:\SD_CSD directory, as described below:
1. Insert the Tivoli Software Distribution CD-ROM for CSD XR22539 in the code server workstation. This scenario assumes that the drive letter corresponding to the CD-ROM is F:
1. Create the D:\SD_CSD directory on the code server workstation.
2. Open a command prompt session.
3. Change the current directory to F:\SD4WNT9x
4. From this directory enter the command:
SDUPD.BAT D:\SD_CSD\SD4WNT9x F:\SD4WNT9x
After completing this step, the following directory structure is created under the D:\SD_CSD directory:
D:\SD_CSD\| |\SD4WNT9x\| |..... |..... |W2KS.PRO |W2KC.PRO |WNTS.PRO |WNTC.PRO |W9XC.PRO |..... |..... |
The WNTS.PRO profile follows as an example.
GLOBAL NAME: IBM.SD4WNT.SERVER.REF.3150.XR22539 DESCRIPTION: SD Server for WNT 3.1.5 - (XR22539 level) CHANGE FILE TYPE: GEN OBJECT: SOURCE NAME: F:\SD4WNT9x\update\wnts\*.exe TARGET NAME: $(FILEPATH)BIN\*.exe TYPE: FILE ACTION: COPY INCLUDE SUBDIRS: NO GENERAL ATTR: -A---- OBJECT: SOURCE NAME: F:\SD4WNT9x\update\wnts\*.dll TARGET NAME: $(FILEPATH)BIN\*.dll TYPE: FILE ACTION: COPY INCLUDE SUBDIRS: NO GENERAL ATTR: -A---- |
To update the Tivoli Software Distribution installed products to this CSD level of Version 3.1.5, use the change file profiles that have been downloaded in the preparation directory D:\SD_CSD\SD4WNT9x.
To build the change files to install the CSD, use the following profiles:
|
W2KS.PRO |
For a Windows 2000 (Server, Professional or Advanced Server) server |
|
W2KC.PRO |
For a Windows 2000 (Server or Professional) client |
|
WNTS.PRO |
For a Windows NT server |
|
WNTC.PRO |
For a Windows NT client |
|
W9XC.PRO |
For a Windows 9x client |
To start Tivoli Software Distribution, Version 3.1.5 via the command line interface, enter the following command:
nvdm start
Change the current directory to D:\SD_CSD\SD4WNT9x. Use the Tivoli Software Distribution, Version 3.1.5 command line interface to enter the following command for each change file profile you want to build:
nvdm bld <change_file_profile_name>
Do not remove the CD-ROM during the execution of the nvdm bld command, because the CD-ROM is accessed to get the preparation code.
In Step 2 you created a set of change files that are stored under the repository of the Tivoli Software Distribution, Version 3.1.5 server, with the following names:
IBM.SD4W2K.SERVER.REF.3150.XR22539
IBM.SD4W2K.CLIENT.REF.3150. XR22539
IBM.SD4WNT.SERVER.REF.3150. XR22539
IBM.SD4WNT.CLIENT.REF.3150. XR22539
IBM.SD4W9X.CLIENT.REF.3150. XR22539
To install the change files (which you created in the previous step), use the following commands.
For a Windows 2000 (Server or Professional) server:
nvdm inst IBM.SD4W2K.SERVER.REF.3150. XR22539 -n -vs -w <target_name>
To confirm whether the installation has been completed correctly, verify that the change management status of the IBM.SD4W2K.SERVER.REF.3150.XR22539 change files is as follows:
IBM.SD4W2K.SERVER.REF.3150.XR22539 installed not removable inactive
If the installation performed in the previous step has been executed successfully, perform an activate request on the Windows NT server to make the code changes active, by entering the following command:
nvdm act -w <target_name> -f
During the execution of this step, the server workstation will restart automatically in order to make the code changes active.
For a Windows 2000 (Server or Professional) client:
nvdm inst IBM.SD4W2K.CLIENT.REF.3150.XR22539 -n -vs -w <target_name>nvdm act -w <target_name> -f
For a Windows NT Server:
nvdm inst IBM.SD4WNT.SERVER.REF.3150.XR22539 -n -vs -w <target_name>
To confirm whether the installation has been completed correctly, verify that the change management status of the IBM.SD4WNT.SERVER.REF.3150.XR22539 change files is as follows:
IBM.SD4WNT.SERVER.REF.3150.XR22539 installed not removable inactive
If the installation performed in the previous step has been executed successfully, perform an activate request on the Windows NT server to make the code changes active, by entering the following command:
nvdm act -w <target_name> -f
During the execution of this step, the server workstation will restart automatically in order to make the code changes active.
For a Windows NT Client:
nvdm inst IBM.SD4WNT.CLIENT.REF.3150.XR22539 -n -vs -w <target_name>nvdm act -w <target_name> -f
For a Windows 9x Client:
nvdm inst IBM.SD4W9X.CLIENT.REF.3150.XR22539 -n -vs -w <target_name>nvdm act -w <target_name> -f
