The Resource Kit requires prerequisite software. This section guides you through the process of downloading the software required for installing the Identity Manager Resource Kit. We recommend that you create a /tmp directory in the admin user’s home directory and save the prerequisite software there.
If the product that you are downloading is stored as an ISO file, we recommend that you download the ISO file to your local host machine instead of directly in the VM. The reason for this is that the ISO files make the VM very large. You can access the ISO file from the local host as a mounted CD-ROM or DVD in the VM by doing the following:
Disconnect the CD-ROM device from your VM by selecting from the VM menu.
Reconfigure your VM to load the ISO file as a CD-ROM or DVD in your virtual CD-ROM/DVD device by selecting .
From the VM menu, browse to and select the ISO file in the section.
From the VM menu, select to reconnect the CD-ROM device to your VM.
This causes the OS in your VM to automatically mount the CD-ROM and open it in a file browser.
