Managing Siebel Image Directories and Media Files

This topic is part of General Considerations in Planning Your Siebel Deployment.

All products are installed from a Siebel image you create on the network using the Siebel Image Creator utility. Each Siebel release has its own version-specific network image, whether it is a base release or a patch release.

You will need to allocate space on the network for Siebel images that are to be used as the source location for Siebel installations. Retain all network images until they no longer apply.

Also retain all Siebel media files, including any ZIP files you obtain and the JAR files you use to create the Siebel image on the network.

For complete information about obtaining Siebel media and using Siebel Image Creator, see Creating the Siebel Installation Image on the Network.
