Extracting the Setup Files

Like most Knowledge Modules for PATROL, you need to install IBM XiV 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 hardware-related information and alerts

•	The Console Server

•	PATROL Central – Web Edition

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 XiV KM for PATROL package in the same folder: ibm-xiv-<version>-thorium.zip

3.	Then, unzip the jre_windows_WINDOWS_<version>.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.

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

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 XiV KM for PATROL package in the same folder: ibm-xiv-<version>-thorium.tar if downloaded from the Sentry Software Web site.

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