5. Choose “Install (analysis)...” from the Actions menu.
6. Select OK to install the software after the analysis phase is completed.
Because these products contain kernel filesets, SD will prompt you that a reboot is necessary.
NOTE: If this was the first time you installed WLM and you have not previously installed PRM,
be sure to edit the file /etc/rc.config.d/prm to set the following variables as indicated:
PRM_CONFIG=0
PRM_RMTCONF=0
These settings prevent PRM and its remote configuration daemon from starting automatically
at reboot. (The PRM remote configuration daemon is not useful with WLM and does not need
to be started.)
