Packaging Guide for LPP Installation

Overview

This document describes the components and functions of each Licensed Product available for use with the AIX operating system. This information allows the customer to see what functions are available, the amount of disk space the product requires, and what requisite products or special instructions are necessary to install the product.

The products and packages are arranged into the following sections:

The System Software is a list of those products which are delivered with the AIX base media with all orders of AIX Version 4.3. Each of the other sections list products which may be purchased in addition to AIX. Some licensed programs are also grouped together into solutions which provide full function for the customer.

The description for each licensed program lists the following information, as applicable. For example, if no special instructions are required for installing a software product, the Special Installation Notes section is omitted.

Package Names or Fileset Names	Lists packages or filesets in the licensed program. A package consists of one or more related filesets. A fileset is the smallest installable unit of a software product. Large products are often divided into several packages, each of which can be copied onto a server.

Approximate Disk Space Required	Lists, in megabytes, the approximate amount of hard disk space required to store the installed software.

Requisite Software	Lists other software packages and filesets that must be installed before or with the licensed program. Note: Because all licensed programs require the Version 4.2 Base Operating System Run-Time (bos.rte) package, it is not repeated in the Requisite Software section.

Special Installation Notes	Lists special instructions for installing the licensed program and packages. Note: For reliability, stop all processes before installing software. If, however, stopping all processes is not feasible, this section identifies those processes you must stop.

Special Migration Notes	Lists special instructions for migrating the licensed program and packages.
