Installing Products › Select an SMP/E Environment › Select a Target Zone

Select a Target Zone

You select a target zone in the SMP/E environment where you want to install your product. You either create a target zone or select an existing target zone in the SMP/E environment (if you use an existing SMP/E environment).

Follow these steps:

1. On the Target Zone step, substep 1, perform one of the following actions:
   • Click Create a New Target Zone to create a target zone.
   • Select an existing target zone in the SMP/E environment.

     Note: This option is available only if you selected to use an existing SMP/E environment.

     • If you install a product or its components into an existing target or distribution zone, older versions are deleted from the zone and associated data sets. We recommend that you use new target and distribution zones for this installation so that you can apply maintenance to your current version, if necessary.
     • If your product has the installed prerequisites, the target zone of the SMP/E environment with the installed prerequisites that you selected at the Prerequisites step of the wizard is preselected for you. You cannot select another target zone. You cannot create a new target zone.
2. Click Next.

   You are prompted to set up the target zone.
