Extracting the Setup Files

Like most Knowledge Modules for PATROL, you need to install IBM DS6000, DS8000 Series KM for PATROL on the following components of your PATROL architecture:

•Every managed system with a PATROL Agent

•Every PATROL Console (Classic) that will show IBM performance-related information and alerts

•The Console Server

•PATROL Central – Web Edition

On Windows

The packages for Windows are to be extracted in the consecutive order:

1.First, unzip the BMC Installation Utility: ins_Windows_<version>.zip

2.Next, unzip the IBM DS6000, DS8000 Series KM for PATROL package in the same folder: seni68_WINDOWS_<version>.zip

3.Then, unzip the senjre_<version>_WINDOWS.zip package if you need to install the latest Java Runtime Environment program

The content of the packages merges into a subfolder named bmc_products.

Apache JRE is not supported.

Windows may ask for your confirmation to overwrite files and folders. This is normal behavior and you can accept all overwrite confirmation requests.

On UNIX/Linux

The packages for UNIX/Linux are to be extracted with the tar utility:

1.First, untar the BMC Installation Utility: tar xvf ins_ALL_<version>.tar

2.Next, untar the IBM DS6000, DS8000 Series KM for PATROL package named: LYV39_<version>_Storage_KM.tar if downloaded from BMC Software EPD Web site or seni65_UNIX_<version>.tar if downloaded from the Sentry Software Web site.

The files are extracted into a sub-directory named bmc_products.
