5.4 Software Distribution Managers

5.5 Chapter Objectives

The principal objective of the remaining sections of this chapter is to demonstrate how to use CID techniques to migrate your existing servers to OS/2 Warp Server for e-business.

Based on our experiences, we have documented all of the steps necessary to complete an unattended migration or installation to OS/2 Warp Server for e-business.

To achieve this, we have provided:

  1. Tested, working response files for each installable product

  2. LAN CID Utility (LCU) command line installation invocation syntax

The first part of this chapter discusses installation from a LAN CID Utility perspective. Later in the chapter, we provide the specific information needed for installation through NetView DM/2 (NVDM/2). As already stated, the Change Profiles will need to be built from the LCU syntaxes.
