6. Determine contacts at the customer.
7. Gather Users, Roles, and Physical location.
8. Evaluate security requirements.
9. Determine integrations to existing customer applications.


2. Given the design details develop an architecture document. With emphasis on performing the following steps:
1. Verify all software needed.
2. Determine product integration probes and gateways.
3. Define components, locations, and network connectivity.
4. Determine naming conventions.
5. Determine directory for install.
6. Review customer compliance requirements. (Acceptance testing.)
7. Determine configuration of messages on the end nodes


3. Given a design document obtain the required components so that you are ready to install Netcool/OMNIbus.

With emphasis on performing the following steps:
1. Determine appropriate installer (console vs. GUI).
2. Obtain network availability.
3. Obtain access to systems and servers.
4. Obtain authorization for network.
5. Obtain install media.

Section 2 - Installation

1. Given that environment variables have been set and sourced on a supported UNIX/Linux server, install Netcool/OMNIbus V7.2 using the console, so that the selected Netcool/OMNIbus V7.2 components are installed. With emphasis on performing the following steps:
1. Download the required omnibus binaries from IBM support site.
2. Locate the binaries on the UNIX/Linux server in an appropriate temporary location.
3. Un-tar the package and run the install script ./INSTALL -console.
4. Accept the license agreement
5. Select the required features:

Desktop
Gateways
Process Control
Servers
ConfPack
Administrator
AEN Client
Local Help System
Install selected features


2. Given OMNIbus is installed, download the probes patch from the IBM support site and install the patches using $NCHOME/omnibus/install/nco_patch so the probe is installed. With emphasis on performing the following steps:
1. Download probe patch from the IBM support site.
2. Untar the patch to a tmp directory.
3. Run $NCHOME/omnibus/install/nco_patch �install <path_to_patch_folder>
4. Type 'yes' and hit enter to install the probe.


3. Given OMNIbus V7.2 is installed on a UNIX host and a FixPack is downloaded from the IBM support site, install the FixPack , so that the selected FixPack has been installed. With emphasis on performing the following steps:
1. Run the FixPack install command: $NCHOME/install/ncisetup �install <path_to_FixPack>
