Installation Paths
BMC Software, Inc., Confidential and Proprietary Information
Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation 1-11
Determining Product Status
To determine the status of each product that you plan to install, review the
requirements that are described in the product-specific chapters of this book
and answer the following questions:
• Are you installing the product for the first time?
• Are you installing a new version, release, or maintenance level for a
product that is currently installed on your system?
• Are you planning to run this product version concurrently with previous
versions or releases?
For products with DB2-specific requirements, answer the following
questions:
• Are you planning to use existing BMC Software product tables (created
during a previous installation)?
• Are you propagating the product across multiple DB2 subsystems?
• Are you planning to share product libraries between DB2 subsystems?
• Are you planning to install the DB2 products in a data sharing
environment (Sysplex)? (Consider a data sharing environment as one
DB2 subsystem, since only one catalog exists.)
Note: To enable access to all of the data sharing members, you must
edit the BMCDB2 CLIST. Refer to “Performing the
Post-Installation Tasks for Administrative Products” on page 4-3.
After you determine the product status (new or existing), use Table 1-10 on
page 13 to help you select an installation path.
