About the Siebel Installation Image

For each Siebel CRM release or update, you must download the Siebel CRM media files and create the Siebel image from which you install Siebel CRM software.

Content will be extracted from the download ZIP files to yield the Siebel CRM product content that is specific to your Siebel CRM release and specific to your supported operating system (Windows, Linux, IBM AIX, HP-UX, or Oracle Solaris). The specific ZIP files and their contents vary for each operating system. (All customers require the Windows-based media in order to install Siebel client modules, though Windows and UNIX-based images must remain separate.)

Media packaging has been optimized and reorganized to reflect the changes stemming from the new installer. Media content is optimized to support the new installer and include modules not previously part of Siebel CRM media or installation. For example:

• For all installation cases, only media for the current release of Siebel CRM are required.
• Media are consolidated for server and client modules.
• Media are provided, for installing non-ENU safeboot files.
• Media for new database repository and ancestor database repository support files are provided for inclusion in Siebel CRM server installations, where required for your deployment.
• Media for Oracle Database SE2 are provided for inclusion in Siebel Web Client installations (for Siebel Mobile Web Client).
• Media for Oracle Database Client are provided as part of the Siebel binaries and do not need to be separately downloaded for both clients and server.
• Media for Siebel Mobile SDK and Siebel Smart Answer are now provided. These modules do not use the new Siebel CRM installer and are not documented in this guide.
