Creating an installable image from downloaded installation files

If you download the installation files from IBM® Passport Advantage®, IBM's Entitled Software Support site, or the product’s trial site, you must extract the electronic image from the compressed files before you can install the software.

About this task

If you select the Download Director option for downloading the installation files, the Download Director applet automatically verifies the completeness of each file that it processes.

Extracting the downloaded files

About this task

Extract the compressed files to a common root directory (for example, on Windows, this could be C:\temp\INSTALL_IMAGE). After the files are extracted, they look like this:
  • C:\temp\INSTALL_IMAGE\disk1
  • C:\temp\INSTALL_IMAGE\disk2
