5.5 Chapter
ObjectivesThe assumptions we made when writing this book are discussed in the following sections.
Above all else, please remember that the installation we are performing is a Migration. That is, moving an existing server configuration to OS/2 Warp Server for e-business. Therefore, we do not introduce new functionality to the server as part of the installation.
As already discussed in Section 5.4 Software Distribution Managers, we feel that anyone using remote installation techniques today using NVDM/2 or SWD will be able to take our examples and modify them to suit their environment.
In spite of the fact that we are considering a migration scenario, the installation of new products that come with OS/2 Warp Server for e-business has been discussed here. However, we emphasize that it is not a specific part of this migration scenario.
Throughout this chapter, we assume a basic knowledge of CID techniques. We believe that many of the existing Enterprise customers already use either CID, NVDM/2, or SWD products.
If CID concepts are new to you, and you are interested in this very powerful software distribution technique, you may like to read the redbooks titled The OS/2 Warp 4 CID Software Distribution Guide, SG24-2010, and OS/2 Installation Techniques: The CID Guide, SG24-4295.
For the latest information on CID-related installations of OS/2 Warp Server for e-business, please refer to the README.CID on the OS/2 Warp Server for e-business CD-ROM.

The response files provided here are tested, working examples, using real parameters related to our environment. It is vitally important that these files are tailored to YOUR environment prior to installation. This serves two purposes. It accommodates your configuration and avoids problems where the installed options within any given product vary. In addition, we strongly recommend that you thoroughly test your CID installations before using them in a production environment. |
