Conclusion
In this chapter, we covered the Bill of Materials for the IBM Business Automation software required and the related IBM Information Management Products to be installed, with the download site URLs, product codes, descriptions and size and name of the download gzip tar files for each software download. Also, we learned about the update of a CentOS 8.0 system to CentOS Stream.
In the next chapter, we are going to learn about the procedures for System Sizing for IBM Software systems, using a program called IBM Content Capacity Planner (originally called IBM SCout) which is used to provide estimates of performance loading.
Points to remember
• Remember to back up the whole system before upgrading a CentOS 8.x system to CentOS stream.
• A VMWare mapped folder can also be used to copy installation files.
• If Download Director fails to run, the download option can be changed in the browser page to use ftp or http file download protocols.
• DB2 11.1 is the earliest fully supported Database version. (IBM announced Continuing Support for Db2 versions 8.2, 9.1 and 9.5 will be discontinued on September 30, 2022.)
