About this task
Package Name | Contents | Default directory |
---|---|---|
gskcrypt64-8.x.x.x.linux.ppcle.rpm |
64-bit Global Security Kit (GSKit) packages | /usr/local/ibm/gsk8 |
TIVsm-API64.ppc64le.rpm | Application programming interface (API), which contains the shared libraries and samples for the Tivoli Storage Manager API. | /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64 |
TIVsm-BA.ppc64le.rpm | Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive client (command-line and GUI), administrative client (dsmadmc), and the web client. | /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin This directory is typically the default installation directory for many backup-archive client files. The sample system-options file (dsm.sys.smp) is written to this directory. If you do not set the DSM_DIR environment variable, the dsmc executable file, the resource files, and the dsm.sys file are stored in this directory. If you do not set the DSM_CONFIG environment variable, the client user-options file must be in this directory. If you do not set the DSM_LOG environment variable, Tivoli Storage Manager writes messages to the dsmerror.log and dsmsched.log files in the current working directory. |
TIVsm-filepath-version-linuxOS.ppc64le.rpm Where: version indicates the Tivoli Storage Manager version, and linuxOS indicates the Linux operating system that you are installing the filepath component on. TIVsm-filepath-source.tar.gz TIVsm-JBB.ppc64le.rpm |
Files that are needed for journal-based backups. | The filepath and TIVsm-JBB packages are only required if you plan to use journal-based backups. Filepath is installed in /opt/filepath The TIVsm-JBB.ppc64le.rpm package is installed in /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin. |
Procedure
If you need only the API installed, you can stop here. The rest of the steps in this procedure describe how to install the backup-archive client components. Also described in subsequent steps are the installation of the packages that are needed if you want to run journal-based backups.
