You can install the IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager Linux x86_64 client from the product DVD, or other installation media.
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.
Package Name | Contents | Default directory |
---|---|---|
gskcrypt64-8.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 |
Files needed to support journal based backups. | /opt/filepath |
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.
rpm -U gskcrypt64-8.x.x.x.linux.x86_64.rpm gskssl64-8.x.x.x.linux.x86_64.rpm
rpm -i TIVsm-API64.x86_64.rpm
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.
rpm -i TIVsm-BA.x86_64.rpm
rpm -i TIVsm-BAcit.x86_64.rpm
rpm -i TIVsm-filepath-version_vendor.x86_64.rpm TIVsm-JBB.x86_64.rpm
