  1. For non-RECFM U data sets, IBM recommends using system-determined block sizes for efficient DASD utilization. For RECFM U data sets, IBM recommends using a block size of 32760, which is most efficient from the performance and DASD utilization perspective.
  2. Abbreviations used for data set types are shown as follows.

U

Unique data set, allocated by this product and used by only this product. This table provides all the required information to determine the correct storage for this data set. You do not need to refer to other tables or program directories for the data set size.

S

Shared data set, allocated by this product and used by this product and other products. To determine the correct storage needed for this data set, add the storage size given in this table to those given in other tables (perhaps in other program directories). If the data set already exists, it must have enough free space to accommodate the storage size given in this table.

E

Existing shared data set, used by this product and other products. This data set is not allocated by this product. To determine the correct storage for this data set, add the storage size given in this table to those given in other tables (perhaps in other program directories). If the data set already exists, it must have enough free space to accommodate the storage size given in this table.

3.      If you currently have a previous release of this product installed in these libraries, the installation of this release will delete the old release and reclaim the space that was used by the old release and any service that had been installed. You can determine whether these libraries have enough space by deleting the old release with a dummy function, compressing the libraries, and comparing the space requirements with the free space in the libraries.

4.      For more information about the names and sizes of the required data sets, see "Allocate SMP/E Target and Distribution Libraries".

  1. Abbreviations used for the file system path type are as follows.

N

New path, created by this product.

X

Path created by this product, but may already exist from a previous release.

P

Previously existing path, created by another product.

Mount the IBM Installation Manager for z/OS V1.4

The SGINKIT file system now contains the IBM Installation Manager for z/OS V1.4 installation kit, which can be used to create one or more Installation Managers.

Unmount the SGINKIT file system and remount it read-only at a location of your choice on the z/OS system where the Installation Manager will be created. The default mountpoint is

 
    /usr/lpp/InstallationManager/V1R4

Activating IBM Installation Manager for z/OS V1.4

An Installation Manager instance consists of a set of Installation Manager binaries together with a set of runtime data (appdata) and a cache location for shared resources. You can use the GIN2xxxx sample jobs to set up an Installation Manager instance ("Installation Manager" for short).

Each Installation Manager can install any number of products. You may only need one Installation manager per system or data center.

Complete instructions can be found in the IBM Installation Manager for z/OS V1.4 information center.

 
    http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/install/v1r4/index.jsp

Here is a summary of the steps to create an Installation Manager.

  1. Mount the Installation Manager installation kit (SGINKIT) on your z/OS system. The default path is
2.            
3.               /usr/lpp/InstallationManager/V1R4
  1. Decide whether the Installation Manager will be used by a single superuser (uid=0), a single non-superuser, or by a number of user IDs connected to a single SAF group. Edit and submit sample job GIN2ADMN to create the "owning" user ID and group for the Installation Manager and add the required SAF permissions.
  2. Edit and submit sample job GIN2CFS to allocate and mount a file system to contain the Installation Manager's binaries, run-time data, and shared data.
  3. Edit and submit sample job GIN2INST to create the Installation Manager.

Run this job under the user ID that will "own" the Installation Manager.

You can now invoke the Installation Manager from the Unix System Services shell, or from a batch job.

If you created the Installation Manager in "admin" or "nonAdmin" mode, you must invoke the Installation Manager under the owning user ID.

If you created the Installation Manager in "group" mode, you can invoke the Installation Manager from the owning user ID, or from any user ID that is connected to the Installation Manager's owning group and has the permissions granted by sample job, GIN2ADMN.

See the following sample jobs for examples of invoking an Installation Manager in "batch" mode:

GIN3CMD - Issue any Installation Manager command.

GIN3INST - Install a product using the Installation Manager.

GIN3UNIN - Uninstall a product using the Installation Manager.

For more information, see the IBM Installation Manager Information Center.

The IBM Installation Manager installation kit is only used when creating or updating an Installation Manager.


Updating an Installation Manager

The IBM Installation Manager installation kit is updated through normal service processes. Applying PTFs or APAR fixes for FMID HGIN140, updates the installation kit, but results in no changes to any Installation Managers that have already been created.

To update an Installation Manager:

  1. Mount the IBM Installation Manager installation kit at the desired level. This file system should be mounted read-only.
  2. Log on the Unix System Services shell under the owning user ID for the Installation Manager.
  3. From the Installation installation kit directory, re-issue the installc, userinstc, or groupinst command that was originally used to create the Installation Manager. This will update the Installation Manager's binaries to the new level.
  4. Issue the imcl -version command to verify that the Installation Manager has been updated.
5.            
6.                  cd <Installation Manager binaries>/eclipse/tools
7.            
8.                  imcl -version
