(2) Installation procedure

This subsection describes how to install PFM - RM for Platform.

There are two ways to install PFM - RM for Platform in a UNIX environment: by using the distribution media or by using JP1/Software Distribution for remote installation. For details about the method that uses JP1/Software Distribution, see the Job Management Partner 1/Software Distribution Manager Description and Administrator's Guide, Job Management Partner 1/Software Distribution SubManager Description and Administrator's Guide, for UNIX systems, and Job Management Partner 1/Software Distribution Client Description and User's Guide, for UNIX systems.

To install from the distribution media:

1. At the host where PFM - RM for Platform is to be installed, log on as a superuser. Alternatively, use the su command to change to a superuser.

   If any services of Performance Management programs are running, stop all of them.

   Note concerning the services to be stopped

   You must stop all Performance Management services on physical and logical hosts. For details about how to stop services, see the chapter that describes starting and stopping Performance Management in the Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management User's Guide.

3. Insert the distribution media into the appropriate drive.
