Installms does the following: installs CSM and needed prerequisites on the management server and copies CSM and prerequisite RPMs into /csminstall directories. The actual RPM packages are copied, so they will be available during CSM node installation. In order to copy the prerequisite RPMs, the operating system CDs are needed.
