Requirements for the Siebel Image Directories

You must allocate disk space on the network for the Siebel images that you will use as the source location for Siebel CRM installations. Retain all of the Siebel images until they no longer apply. Also retain all of the Siebel media files (ZIP files).

The directory in which you create a Siebel image must meet the following requirements:

• The user creating the Siebel image must have write permission in the Siebel image directory. Users who have to access the Siebel image directory in order to perform installations must have read and execute permissions. Users who have to modify files to support unattended installation mode must also have write permission. See also the relevant topics in Planning Your Siebel Deployment.

• Any directory that you specify for creating a Siebel image must contain sufficient disk space for all of the Siebel CRM modules that you include in the Siebel image.

• Any directory that you specify for creating a Siebel image must follow the conventions described in File and Directory Naming Conventions. For example, on Windows, a directory name must not contain spaces or number signs (pound or hash signs).

• (Windows) Any directory that you specify for creating a Siebel image must have a drive letter assigned to it.

• Do not move or rename any subdirectories within the Siebel image, such as the Disk1 subdirectory. It is acceptable to move or rename the top-level directory in which you created the Siebel image.
