Importing a CD or customized installation package into Distribution Server

This task describes how to import components into the Distribution Server for deployment to multiple locations.

Before you begin

• The customized installation packages that resulted from Creating an installation package of the migrated and merged KM must be accessible to the Distribution Server.
• Ensure that you use the Distribution Server version 7.1.01 or later.

To import components in to the Distribution Server

1. Using the Distribution Server Manager, connect to the Distribution Server.
2. In the Distribution Server tab area, click the Components tab.
3. In the list area, click the Import button.
4. Navigate to the location where the components are located and click Next.

5. Select the directory that contains the Products directory (do not select the Products directory itself).
   If the components are not accessible on a local drive, you can specify them by using the NFS name and path.

   Information

   Example

   Assuming that you copied the CD image into a directory called merged_CD and then, after migrating your customizations and creating a customized installation package, you copied the updated package to the directory containing the CD image, the resultant directory structure would resemble merged_CD\Products\pokchm. You would select the directory merged_CD.

6. Select the check boxes for the components that you want to import and click OK.
7. Click Import to import the selected components.
