Preparing the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM LogToFile 2.3.0.0 Technology
Pack installation directory
You can obtain technology pack installation files from the IBM product distribution
website, or from the Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager technology pack CD.
Before you begin
If you are installing the packs by using an instance of the Tivoli Netcool
Performance Manager launchpad on the local file system, you can install directly
from the CD. Otherwise, you must create a temporary directory and copy the
technology pack files to the local system before you begin the installation. You
cannot run the launchpad from the Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager DVD, and
then install technology packs directly from the CD distribution.
Note: If you are using a local instance of the launchpad and you want to install
directly from the technology pack CD, you can skip this step and proceed to
Chapter 6, “Installing the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM LogToFile 2.3.0.0 Technology
Pack,” on page 37.
