IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

Installing the Tivoli Storage Manager Linux x86_64 client

You can install the IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager Linux x86_64 client from the product DVD, or other installation media.

You must be logged in as root to perform this procedure.

If you have Tivoli Storage Manager version 6.2 (or an earlier version) installed, remove it (rpm -e) and any other dependent software programs before installing a newer version.

If you have Tivoli Storage Manager version 6.3 (or newer) installed, you can use the rpm upgrade option (rpm -U) or the rpm freshen option (rpm -F) to upgrade the existing software to a newer version. rpm -U can be used to install new packages or upgrade existing packages; rpm -F can only update packages that are already installed.

Stop any running Tivoli Storage Manager processes before uninstalling or upgrading the Tivoli Storage Manager API, backup-archive client, or language packages.

The following installation options are available in uncompressed packages on the DVD.
Table 1. Package names, contents, and default directory
Package Name Contents Default directory

gskcrypt64-8.x.x.x.linux.x86_64.rpm
gskssl64-8.x.x.x.linux.x86_64.rpm

64-bit Global Security Kit (GSKit) packages /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64
TIVsm-API64.x86_64.rpm 64-bit application programming interface (API), which contains the Tivoli Storage Manager API shared libraries and samples. /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64
TIVsm-BA.x86_64.rpm 64-bit Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive client (command-line), administrative client (dsmadmc), the web client, and documentation. /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin

This directory is considered to be the default installation directory for many backup-archive client files. The sample system-options file (dsm.sys.smp) is written to this directory. If the DSM_DIR environment variable is not set, the dsmc executable file, the resource files, and the dsm.sys file are stored in this directory.

If DSM_CONFIG is not set, the client user-options file must be in this directory.

If you do not define DSM_LOG, writes messages to the dsmerror.log and dsmsched.log files in the current working directory.

TIVsm-APIcit.x86_64.rpm

TIVsm-BAcit.x86_64.rpm

Optional. These files provide the IBM Tivoli Common Inventory Technology components that you can use to obtain information about the number of client and server devices connected to the system, and the utilization of processor value units (PVUs) by server devices. See Estimating processor value units for more information.

APIcit is installed in tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64/cit/

BAcit is installed in tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/cit/

TIVsm-filepath-version_vendor.x86_64.rpm
TIVsm-JBB.x86_64.rpm

Files needed to support journal based backups.

/opt/filepath
/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin

TIVsm_BAhdw.x86_64.rpm Provides support for snapshot incremental backup for NetAPP and N-Series file servers. /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/plugins
TIVsm-msg.xx_xx.x86_64.rpm Additional languages and messages. /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/lang/xx_xx

Where xx_xx defines the language installed.

This installation procedure can be used to install new distributions or updates from a DVD or other media. If you download files from Passport Advantage® or other IBM web site, the files that you use to install the client might be compressed. Depending on the package file format, either copy or extract the files to disk and use these instructions to install the components and optional language packs. Install the packages in the order shown.

  1. Mount the volume or DVD that you are installing from.
  2. Change to the directory where the installation packages are stored. If you are installing from DVD, change to the /dvd/client/linux86 directory.
  3. Install the 64-bit GSKit packages. In this example, the "8.x.x.x" characters represent the GSKIT version on the DVD:
    rpm -U gskcrypt64-8.x.x.x.linux.x86_64.rpm gskssl64-8.x.x.x.linux.x86_64.rpm
  4. Install the 64-bit Tivoli Storage Manager API, and optionally install the common inventory technology package needed to support processor value unit (PVU) calculations.
    1. Required: install the Tivoli Storage Manager API:
      rpm -i TIVsm-API64.x86_64.rpm
    2. Optional: Install the common inventory technology package used by the API. This package is dependent on the API so it must be installed after the API package is installed.
      rpm -i TIVsm-APIcit.x86_64.rpm

    If you only need the API installed, you can stop here. The rest of the steps in this procedure describe how to install the backup-archive client components and an optional client package that is needed only if you want the client to send PVU metrics to the server. Also described in subsequent steps are the installation of the packages that are needed if you want to perform journal-based backups, and the installation of additional languages.

  5. Install the backup-archive Java™ client, command line client, administrative client, web client, and the documentation; optionally install the common inventory technology package needed to support processor value unit (PVU) calculations.
    1. Install the backup-archive client components.
      rpm -i TIVsm-BA.x86_64.rpm
    2. Optional: install the common inventory technology package the client uses to send PVU metrics to the server. This package is dependent on the client package so it must be installed after the client package is installed.
      rpm -i TIVsm-BAcit.x86_64.rpm
  6. Optional: If you want to use journal-based backups, install the packages needed to support the filepath component and journal based backups. Install the filepath component first and ensure that you install the filepath package that is appropriate for the operating system on the client computer. Specify one of the following package names for the filepath package name:
    • TIVsm-filepath-version-rhel59.x86_64.rpm, for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.9.
    • TIVsm-filepath-version-rhel64.x86_64.rpm, for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4
    • TIVsm-filepath-version-sles11sp2.x86_64.rpm, for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11, SP 2.
    rpm -i TIVsm-filepath-version_vendor.x86_64.rpm TIVsm-JBB.x86_64.rpm

    If none of these packages matches your Linux version, you must compile Filepath from source code. The Linux Filepath kernel module is licensed pursuant to the terms of the GNU General Public License ("GPL"). To request the Linux Filepath source code, send an email to tsmosreq@us.ibm.com.

  7. Install the snapshot difference incremental backup support for NetApp and N-Series file servers by entering the following command:
    rpm -i TIVsm-BAhdw.x86_64.rpm
  8. The default language installed with the backup-archive client is American English. Use the general syntax shown in this step to install additional languages. Substitute the language identifier shown in the following table for the language_ID variable in the sample command:
    rpm -i TIVsm-msg.language_ID.x86_64.rpm
    Table 2. Language pack identifiers
    Language Language identifier
