Procedure
1. Open the configuration file.
2. Review the basic prerequisite properties outlined in Appendix C, "Prerequisite

properties reference," on page 83 and determine which prerequisite properties
that you want to check.
with optional qualifiers as required.
For example, to add prerequisite properties from the common predefined
category, enter the property name and expected value only. Add the following
prerequisite properties to the file:
Disk=1GB
OS Version=regex{Windows 200[3-8]}
For example, the network predefined category of prerequisite properties has the
network prefix identifier and the prerequisite property name for checking
available ports is availablePorts. You can further categorize the available ports
by application subtypes, DB2 for DB2 database server, WAS for WebSphere
Application Server, FTP for FTP protocol. Add the following prerequisite
properties to the file:
network.availablePorts.DB2=5000-5005
network.availablePorts.WAS=9080
network.availablePorts.FTP=21
For example, the operating system predefined category of prerequisite
properties has the os prefix identifier and the prerequisite property name for
checking available disk space for file systems is space. You can further
categorize the check by file system subtypes, usr and home. You can specify
values for the dir and unit qualifiers.
Add the following prerequisite properties to the file:
os.space.usr=[dir:root=/usr/ibm/common/acsi,unit:GB]2
os.space.home=[dir:non_root=USERHOME/.acsi_HOST,unit:MB]200
Important: You can use the predefined qualifiers only with specific predefined
prerequisite properties, as outlined in Table 5 on page 9.
prerequisite properties, add the name value pair with optional qualifier for the
custom prerequisite property and value. Ensure that you use the following
format, with only prerequisite property on each line.
[prefix_identifier.]property_name[.suffix_identifier]=
[[qualifier_name:qualifier_value]]property_value
where:
v prefix_identifier is an identifier for a predefined category of prerequisite
properties as outlined in Table 3 on page 4. This prefix identifier is required
by some of the predefined categories.
v property_name is the name of the prerequisite property.
v suffix_identifier is an optional identifier for a subtype of prerequisite
properties as outlined in Table 4 on page 6.
v qualifier_name is an optional attribute for the prerequisite property. IBM
Prerequisite Scanner uses it to qualify the prerequisite property or type of
check to perform on the prerequisite property, as outlined in "Predefined
qualifiers for prerequisite properties" on page 8.
Note: You can have multiple qualifiers, each separated by a comma. The set
of qualifiers must be enclosed by [] square brackets.
