You have downloaded the Software Provisioning Manager 1.0 archive.

For more information, see Downloading and Extracting the Software Provisioning Manager 1.0 Archive.

Create a root directory that you can mount centrally.

Example Mount point: /mnt/Repositories/SC/
Extract the Software Provisioning Manager 1.0 archives (InstMaster) to subdirectories of the created root directory.

Example
/mnt/Repositories/SC/SWPM-A/

/mnt/Repositories/SC/SWPM-A/manifest.mf

<Further files and folders from the extracted SWPM .SAR>

The root directory can contain multiple Software Provisioning Manager.
Recommendation Use a unique naming convention for the subdirectories.

Example
/mnt/Repositories/SC/SWPM-B/

/mnt/Repositories/SC/SWPM-B/manifest.mf

<Further files and folders from the extracted SWPM .SAR>
