This topic describes tips when installing from images downloaded
from Passport Advantage.
If you plan to install from images obtained from Passport
Advantage, consider the following tips:
- Refer to your Passport Advantage information for downloading instructions.
On Linux and UNIX platforms: Ensure that
the user who extracts the files with the untar command
is the same user who will install the product. The product installer will
not work properly if different users perform these tasks.
- Make sure that you extract the contents of the images
for WebSphere Process Server CD 1 and WebSphere Process Server CD
2 into two separate directories, respectively. Extracting the files from
the CD 1 image and the CD 2 image into the same directory will cause errors
to occur. It is recommended that you use two sibling directories. For example,
use a pair of directories such as one of the following, depending on platform:
Images map one-for-one to the product CD-ROMs.
In WebSphere Process Server version
6.0.1, the images are grouped by platform into seven electronic assemblies.
Each assembly contains all of the images for that platform, allowing you to
quickly identify all software needed for that platform.
