During creation of a GroupWise system, you are prompted to create a software distribution directory. You can create the software distribution directory on each node where you install the GroupWise software or you can create it on a GroupWise partition so that you install it only once but it is still always available.
IMPORTANT:You must create the software distribution directory in a location that is available to all nodes in the cluster if you want to take advantage of the option of the Installation program. This option simplifies the process of installing the agent software to multiple nodes in the cluster. It eliminates the need to provide the same agent configuration information multiple times. The installation instructions in this section are based on using the option of the Installation program.
For background information about software distribution directories, see Software Directory Management
in System
in the GroupWise 7 Administration Guide.
