IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

Installing the Tivoli Storage Manager Solaris client

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

If a previous version of Tivoli Storage Manager has been installed, remove it before installing a new version. For information about removing previous Tivoli Storage Manager packages, see Uninstalling the Tivoli Storage Manager Solaris client.

This installation procedure is designed to install directly from the Tivoli Storage Manager UNIX client DVD from a local or remote-mounted DVD drive.

A Tivoli Storage Manager installation administration file (tsmadmin) is used in place of the default administration file (/var/sadm/install/admin), so that you are not asked about setuid, setgid or superuser permission during installation. If you want to use the default administration file, remove the -a ./tsmadmin option from the commands listed, and answer the questions about setuid, setgid, or superuser permission during installation with Y.

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 these packages in the order shown; some packages are dependent on the presence of others. For example, GSKit is a prerequisite of the API, and the API is a prerequisite of the backup-archive client package.

  1. Login as the root user.
  2. Mount the volume or DVD that you are installing from.
  3. Change to the directory where the packages are stored. If you are installing from DVD, change to the /dvd/tsmcli/solaris. directory.
  4. The IBM GSKit; it is a prerequisite of the Tivoli Storage Manager API package. Install GSKit using the following commands:
    pkgadd -n -a ./tsmadmin -d ./gsk8cry64.pkg gsk8cry64
    pkgadd -n -a ./tsmadmin -d ./gsk8ssl64.pkg gsk8ssl64
    Note: These commands install the 64-bit GSKit in the global zone and in all running non-global zones. To install Tivoli Storage Manager in a sparse-root, non-global zone only, GSKit must first be installed in the global zone.
  5. Use the following command to install the Tivoli Storage Manager API:
    pkgadd -n -a ./tsmadmin -d ./TIVsmCapi.pkg TIVsmCapi 
    Note: This command installs the Tivoli Storage Manager 64-bit API in the global zone and in all running non-global zones. If you want to install it in the global zone only, use the -G parameter of the pkgadd command.
  6. Use the following command to install the Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive client:
    pkgadd -n -a ./tsmadmin -d ./TIVsmCba.pkg TIVsmCba
    This command installs the 64-bit backup-archive client 64-components in the global zone and in all running non-global zones. If you want to install them in the global zone only, use the -G parameter of the pkgadd command.
  7. The Tivoli Storage Manager default language is English. To install additional languages (optional), enter the commands listed in Table 2, for each additional language.
    Table 2. Language installation commands
    To install this language Enter this command
    NLS French messages pkgadd -n -a ./tsmadmin -d ./TIVsmClFr.pkg TIVsmClFr
    NLS German messages pkgadd -n -a ./tsmadmin -d ./TIVsmClDe.pkg TIVsmClDe
    NLS Italian messages pkgadd -n -a ./tsmadmin -d ./TIVsmClIt.pkg TIVsmClIt
    NLS Spanish messages pkgadd -n -a ./tsmadmin -d ./TIVsmClEs.pkg TIVsmClEs
    NLS Portuguese messages pkgadd -n -a ./tsmadmin -d ./TIVsmClPt.pkg TIVsmClPt
    NLS Czech messages pkgadd -n -a ./tsmadmin -d ./TIVsmClCs.pkg TIVsmClCs
    NLS Hungarian messages pkgadd -n -a ./tsmadmin -d ./TIVsmClHu.pkg TIVsmClHu
    NLS Polish messages pkgadd -n -a ./tsmadmin -d ./TIVsmClPl.pkg TIVsmClPl
    NLS Russian messages pkgadd -n -a ./tsmadmin -d ./TIVsmClRu.pkg TIVsmClRu
    NLS Japanese messages pkgadd -n -a ./tsmadmin -d ./TIVsmClJa.pkg TIVsmClJa
    NLS Korean messages pkgadd -n -a ./tsmadmin -d ./TIVsmClKo.pkg TIVsmClKo
    NLS Simplified Chinese messages pkgadd -n -a ./tsmadmin -d ./TIVsmClSc.pkg TIVsmClSc
    NLS Traditional Chinese messages (EUC) pkgadd -n -a ./tsmadmin -d ./TIVsmClTc.pkg TIVsmClTc

    This installs the localized messages for the Tivoli Storage Manager API, and the backup-archive client. If you want to install them in the global zone only, use the -G parameter of the pkgadd command.

Important: For a Solaris 10 sparse root non-global zone, the /usr file system is normally mounted as read-only (LOFS) from the global zone, and the following conditions apply:
  • If Tivoli Storage Manager is not installed in the global zone, a warning message appears at the end of the installation. The message asks the global administrator to create the required links that are provided as part of the warning messages.
  • If Tivoli Storage Manager is already installed in the global zone, creation of these links is not necessary. The links are already present and they are pointing to the correct executable and libraries
