Accessing CDs and DVDs
Accessing CDs and DVDs to install WebSphere® Message Broker.
When you install or upgrade WebSphere Message Broker, you can access CDs or DVDs on the local system, or you can set up a shared drive and access the shared resource from multiple computers.
The information in the following sections is relevant to both CDs and DVDs. All references are to CDs; DVD behavior is identical. DVDs are available for Linux on x86, Linux on x86-64, Windows 32-bit, and Windows 64-bit only.
You can also install or upgrade from installation images that you have obtained from Passport Advantage®, if you are registered with this scheme:
- Read the instructions that are provided with the packages.
- Download the images that you require for the operating systems in your environment.
- Extract the contents of the images. Specify a short path for the directory to which you are extracting; the depth of directory structure and the directory names might cause problem if restrictions on some operating systems are reached. For example, the limit of 256 characters on Windows might be exceeded.
- Set up the local or remote access to these images in the same way that you do for a CD or DVD. For local installations, see Accessing CDs and DVDs on the local system; for remote installations, see Accessing CDs and DVDs on a remote system.
If you are installing on Windows,
you cannot enter a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path (\\server\drive)
to access the installation program; you must map the drive, otherwise
the Java™ process times out.
If you cannot map the drive, or choose not to map the drive, copy
the contents of the DVD to a local drive and install from that drive.
