IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

Installing the Tivoli Storage Manager Mac OS X client

You can install the IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager Mac OS X client from the product DVD, or other installation media.

You must be a system administrator to install Tivoli Storage Manager.

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.

For MAC OS X clients, you can use an installation wizard that prompts you for information as the product is installed, or you can also install the client from the command line. When you install the client by using the command-line installation procedure, the installation runs without user interaction. The command-line procedure is useful if you want to script the installation and run it on many nodes, or if you must install the software on a system that does not have a monitor.

Select an installation method and install the client. Use either the installation wizard method or install the client from the command line.

Installation method	Procedure
Installation wizard	Double-click the 7.1.0.0-TIV-TSMBAC-Mac.dmg file to mount the disk image. If you are installing from DVD, this file is in the tsmcli/mac directory Double-click the Tivoli Storage Manager installation package icon and follow the prompts to complete the installation.
Command line	Change directories to where the Tivoli Storage Manager installer is located. Install the custom installation package with the following command: `/usr/sbin/installer -pkg "/Volumes/Tivoli Storage Manager/ Tivoli Storage Manager.pkg" -target /`

A sample client system options file, called dsm.sys.smp, is created in the installation directory. You can copy this file and modify it to create the client systems options file for your node. The default name for the client systems option file is dsm.sys.

After you install the client, you might need to set environment variables before you use it. For more information about setting environment variables, see Set processing environment variables.
