INSTALLATION STEPS ON WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM

Last Updated: 2021-03-08

On Windows 32-bit operating system, use the 32-bit installer. On Windows 64-bit operating system, you can use either the 32-bit or the 64-bit installer.

PROCEDURE

To install the OS deployment server:

• Log on as the local Administrator (or as a user with equivalent privileges).

• Run the installation executable file. The installation executable is a self-extracting archive. By default, it expands itself in a temporary folder under c:\install\. This executable file installs Tivoli® Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment. It also performs basic OS configuration tasks from the answers provided, such as setting the administrator name and password.

• Note: You cannot use National Language Version (NLV) characters.

• Follow the setup wizard instructions. Some additional information is available to help you answer the questions of the setup wizard:
  Language selection
  Language selection is valid for both the setup wizard and Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment.
  Custom Setup
  Click Reset if you have deselected some components and want to select them all again.
  Click Disk Usage to check that you have enough space on your disks to install the product.
  Database configuration
  There are three main kinds of configurations:

  • If the Microsoft Access database provided by default (with the 32-bit installer) is applied, there is nothing specific to do. However, if the account is not a local service, some other parameters might be necessary (such as Database account and Gateway account).

  • If the OS deployment server is configured to point to an SQL (trusted) database, the account from the database Gateway (dbgw) is used for authorization. You must fill in DBGW Account and DBGW Password.

  • When the server points to an SQL (untrusted) database, you must fill in the ODBC Database account parameters Username and Password.
