Installing IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP) using the DB2 installer

DB2 Version 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

You can install IBM® Tivoli® System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP) using the DB2® installer.

Before you begin

Whether you use the DB2 installer or the installSAM install script to install SA MP, you must meet the basic prerequisites for installing SA MP. See: Installing IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP).

About this task

There are three methods for using the DB2 installer:

DB2 Setup wizard (install, upgrade, or uninstall)
Silent install using a response file with db2setup (install or upgrade) or db2unins (for uninstall)
db2_install command (for install), installFixPack command (for upgrade), or db2_deinstall command (for uninstall)

Before installing SA MP on a given machine, the DB2 installer queries your system for the following information:

The DB2 installer calls the installSAM install script to perform some parts of the SA MP install operation. Instead of using the DB2 installer to install SA MP, you can call installSAM directly. For more information about using the installSAM install script to install SA MP, see: Installing IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP) using the installSAM install script.

You can use the -l option with db2setup, db2_install, or installFixPack to specify where the installSAM utility should place the SA MP install log. For more information about the SA MP install log, see: IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP) install and uninstall logs.

Procedure

To install SA MP using DB2 Setup wizard, run DB2 Setup wizard and follow the instructions in the wizard.
The information about your system that the DB2 installer collects determines which panels appear in the graphical interface of the DB2 Setup wizard during install. For example, if you already have SA MP installed, then the DB2 Setup wizard will not display a panel to install SA MP.
To install SA MP using a response file, set the response file keyword INSTALL_TSAMP to "YES".
In a response file installation operation, the default behavior of the DB2 installer is to install SA MP. If INSTALL_TSAMP is "YES", or if INSTALL_TSAMP is commented out or missing from the response file, the DB2 installer will attempt to install SA MP.

To prevent the DB2 installer from installing SA MP in a response file installation, set INSTALL_TSAMP to "NO".
To install SA MP using db2_install, you can run db2_install without any parameters specific to SA MP.
The default behavior of db2_install is to install SA MP.

To prevent db2_install from installing SA MP, use the -f NOTSAMP option with db2_install.

What to do next

Whether you use the DB2 installer or the installSAM install script to install SA MP, follow the same post-installation steps. For more information about general post-install steps, see: Installing IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP)
