Deploy software updates to the clients.
Before you begin
This task assumes that the
central administration console discovered
some clients, and that you have an installer file for updated client
software.

About this task
This task upgrades the software of clients
that are already installed. This task does not include installing
a client.
The client installer file-name must include FB4WKSTNS and
must be file type .exe. A typical file name is x.x.x.x-TIV-FB4WKSTNS-x86_windows.exe
.


Procedure
- Put the client installer file in the fbfw\deployments\ subfolder
of the TIP WebSphere® Application
Server profiles folder. The deployments folder in a default installation
path is C:\IBM\Tivoli\Tipv2\profiles\TIPProfile\fbfw\deployments.
- Open the Clients task. The Clients panel
displays the following tabs: Health, Storage,
and Deployment.
- Click the Deployment tab.
- Select the clients that you want to update.
- In the Actions menu,
click Deploy Software Updates. The Deploy Software Updates panel
is displayed. A list displays the files in the deployments folder.
- Select a client installer file from the list and click OK.

Results
The installer file is pushed to the
Downloads subfolder
of the administration folder of the client. The client pulls the installer
file from the
Downloads subfolder of the administration
folder.
