install PTFs (fixes), or to install single licensed programs that you receive

|

<div class="section"> <div class="p">When you use an image catalog, you preload all your media so
|

|
|
that you do not need to handle the physical media when you perform the installation.
|
||
|
|
You do this by copying the images from the physical media <span>or
|
||
|
|
from files received through electronic software delivery</span> to a file in
|
||
|
|
the integrated file system and then use these preloaded images to install.

Image catalog installation requires additional storage space to contain the installation images. The amount of system disk-unit storage that you need varies based on what you are installing.</li>

Image catalog installation requires at least 1074 MB of free space on the load-source disk unit of your server. If you are using an image catalog to install software, perform the following steps to verify how much free space you have available.</li>
