This topic describes the process for acquiring the IBM Linux Pre-installation Environment
files when the Altiris Deployment Server does
not have Internet connectivity.
Before you begin
This procedure requires access to the Internet.
About this task
If the
Altiris Deployment Server is
connected to the Internet and can access the
IBM home page at http://www.ibm.com, the installation
process downloads the
IBM Linux
PE
.zip file. If the
Altiris Deployment Server does not have Internet
connectivity; however, you must obtain the files first by following
the instructions below.
Procedure
- Copy the file sgdeploy\sgtklinux\altiris\bin\win32\ibm_utl_bomc_x.xx_windows_i386.exe from
the Altiris Deployment Server to a system
connected to the Internet.
- Run the following command to acquire the pre-installation
environment .zip file and save it in C:\temp\:
ibm_utl_bomc_x.xx_windows_i386.exe --function=linuxtk -l C:\temp
The Bootable Media Creator tool
acquires the pre-installation environment .zip file ibm_utl_boot_tools-140_anyos_x86–64–full.zip and
saves it in the directory C:\temp\ on the workstation.
- Copy C:\temp\ibm_utl_boot_tools-140_anyos_x86–64–full.zip to
the Altiris Deployment Server at ..\sgdeploy\sgtklinux\boot\,
preserving the original file name.
