Installation options This appendix describes methods for performing automated installations of Netfinity Manager and creating customized Netfinity Manager installations. Automated installation If the system has a CID-enabled (CID stands for customization, installation, and distribution) software distribution manager utility (such as LAN CID, included with IBM Network Transport Services/2), Netfinity Manager can be installed on systems within the network by using the Netfinity Manager installation program command line parameters and response file. First, a source directory must be created for the installation. To create a source directory for a Client Services for Netfinity Manager installation: 1. Create a new directory on your system. This new directory will serve as a source directory for the program files. 2. Copy the files from the appropriate Client Services for Netfinity Manager directory location on the CD-ROM to source directory you created. For example, when creating a source directory to distribute Netfinity Manager Services for OS/2, copy all of the files from the OS2/SERVICES directory into the created directory. To create a source directory for a Netfinity Manager installation: 1. Create a new directory on your system. This new directory will serve as a source directory for the program files. Important: Be sure to copy the Client Services for Netfinity Manager source files before the copying the Netfinity Manager source files because the Netfinity Manager directory contains some files that will overwrite files from the Client Services for Netfinity Manager directory. Only Netfinity Manager installations can be done from this directory. 2. Copy the files from the appropriate Client Services for Netfinity Manager directories. For example, when creating a source directory to distribute Netfinity Manager for OS/2, copy all of the files from the OS2/SERVICES directory into the source directory. 3. Copy the files from the appropriate Netfinity Manager directory. For example, when creating a source directory to distribute Netfinity Manager for OS/2, copy all of the files from the OS2/MANAGER directory into the source directory. After an installation source directory has been created, use a response file and the Netfinity Manager installation pro- Netfinity Manager 141

Installation options

This appendix describes methods for performing automated

installations of Netfinity Manager and creating customized

Netfinity Manager installations.

Automated installation

If the system has a CID-enabled (CID stands for customiza-

tion, installation, and distribution) software distribution man-

ager utility (such as LAN CID, included with IBM Network

Transport Services/2), Netfinity Manager can be installed on

systems within the network by using the Netfinity Manager

installation program command line parameters and

response file.

First, a source directory must be created for

the installation.

To create a source directory for a Client Services for Netfinity

Manager installation:

Create a new directory on your system.

This new

directory will serve as a source directory for the pro-

gram files.

Copy the files from the appropriate Client Services for

Netfinity Manager directory location on the CD-ROM to

source directory you created.

For example, when creating a source directory to dis-

tribute Netfinity Manager Services for OS/2, copy all of

the files from the OS2/SERVICES directory into the

created directory.

To create a source directory for a Netfinity Manager installa-

tion:

Create a new directory on your system.

This new

directory will serve as a source directory for the pro-

gram files.

Important:

Be sure to copy the Client Services for Netfinity Man-

ager source files before the copying the Netfinity Man-

ager source files because the Netfinity Manager

directory contains some files that will overwrite files

from the Client Services for Netfinity Manager directory.

Only Netfinity Manager installations can be done from

this directory.

Copy the files from the appropriate Client Services for

Netfinity Manager directories.

For example, when creating a source directory to dis-

tribute Netfinity Manager for OS/2, copy all of the files

from the OS2/SERVICES directory into the source

directory.

Copy the files from the appropriate Netfinity Manager

directory.

For example, when creating a source directory to dis-

tribute Netfinity Manager for OS/2, copy all of the files

from the OS2/MANAGER directory into the source

directory.

After an installation source directory has been created, use

a response file and the Netfinity Manager installation pro-
