Creating a Staging Point

---

You may choose to copy the installation CD-ROMs to a staging point. This allows you to complete the installation process without physically inserting and swapping CDs. You must create a staging point in order to perform a system-wide installation from unattended mode.

To create a staging point

Determine which languages need to be installed.
Create a target installation directory from which to stage system-wide installations.
Insert the UNIX_OS Server Programs, Siebel Enterprise Server, Base CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of the installation machine.

where:

UNIX_OS = your UNIX operating system, such as Solaris, HP-UX, or AIX.

NOTE:  The volume label for the CD is seaUNIX_OS|base or language; it may not be required, depending on how you access the CD-ROM.

Navigate to the /ses directory and copy the files in the /ses directory to the target installation directory.
From the target directory, create the individual language directories for the languages you will be installing.

If you are installing a language that spans more than one CD, create a directory for each CD under the directory for each language. For example:

unix_server_hpux_ses_lang/
   ses/
      enu/
         disk1
         disk2

Insert the UNIX_OS Server Programs, Siebel Enterprise Server, Language CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of the installation machine

where:

UNIX_OS = your UNIX operating system, such as Solaris, HP-UX, or AIX.
Language = the Language Pack being installed.
Navigate to the /language_directory/ses and copy the files to the corresponding language directory you created in Step 5.

If you have multiple language CDs, copy the files into the directory that you created for each disk.

Repeat this for each language you are installing.

NOTE:  When installing the Siebel Web Server Extension or CORBA OM, no CD swapping is required, so that you can install from the CD-ROM.
