The Customer can start on the BMC Support Central page, under Downloads & Products -> Mainframe Installation.  On the Mainframe Installation page there is a link for "Getting Started" and further down the page there is a link for "File server information".  The File server information will be required when downloading the Installation System, and can only be obtained on that page when logged into the Support site.

The Getting Started page shows a matrix of the steps involved, and along the left-hand side of the page, a series of links to walk a Customer through the steps to be performed.  Please take note of the link for PDFs and videos.  The videos are short and helpful in explaining various panels in the Installation System.

When it is time to select the product to download, there are two choices, These are found under All Products:
         BMC AMI Storage                             n.n.00   BRO       
         BMC AMI Storage StopX37/II Stand Alone      n.n.00   BBV       
After making a selection with an S, continue to press enter until reaching a display of "Below are the products and solutions that were selected for installation." and follow instructions presented.    
         
The download for BMC AMI Storage includes the software for BMC AMI Storage Allocation, Reporting and Automation.  Which products and components run are determined by passwords (aka license keys), and customer specification in the global parameter member named  SMMSYSxx.  The download for BMC AMI Storage also includes the BMC AMI Ops Infrastructure CAS (Coordinating Address Space) started task, which makes panels available for product navigation and management.  

The download for StopX37/II Stand Alone includes the software for StopX37/II, but does not include the software for the Coordinating Address Space (CAS).  StopX37/II is capable of connecting to the CAS, if the CAS is installed already or along with another BMC AMI Ops product.

When upgrading from an earlier version:
Any upgrade in version numbers, such as version 8.1.00 to 8.2.00 is considered an installation, rather than an application of maintenance. The global parmlib member, SMMSYSxx, and the accompanying parmlib members, can be re-used for the new version, rather than recreating them.  Version upgrades do not require new passwords (aka license keys).

Questions about compatibility with operating systems can be answered by clicking on the Product Compatibility tile on the Support Central website. Click on BMC Product and Version, then select the product name and version in the drop down windows.  Below, choose the Operating System; required maintenance will be presented in "Notes for Selected OS".

It is recommended to review Technical Bulletins and Flashes for the version to be installed.  These may be found:  From the Support Central site, click on the tile A-Z Product Catalog. Then locate the product of choice, click on it, click on the version being installed, and from there review a list of Technical Bulletins and Flashes for the product and version chosen.
