## Description

Tivoli Storage Manager Fix Pack 5.4.1.0 supports Linux IA64 architecture on RHEL 4, RHEL 5, SLES9, and SLES10. Functional capabilities for the Tivoli Storage Manager server and passthru device driver remain the same as for other supported Linux architectures. The following information applies to the new architecture support:

- Centera storage devices are not supported.
- Generic tape and raw logical volumes are not supported.
- ACSLS libraries are not supported.
- The Adaptec 3960D Ultra160 SCSI HBA driver, Version 6.2.36 for RHEL 4, RHEL 5, SLES 9, and SLES10 is outdated. If you are using this device driver on Quantum SDLT600 and ULTRIUM 3 drives, various 16 byte SCSI commands will fail and Tivoli Storage Manager will be unable to use the devices. Please use fibre channel adapters for these types of tape devices on Linux IA64 platforms. For more information see Technote 1259749.

Backward compatibility

See IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Server/Client Compatibility and Upgrade Considerations for general backward compatibility information.

Installation note for RHEL5

When installing the Tivoli Storage Manager server or storage agent on RHEL5, ensure that the C++ compatibility libraries are installed before attempting to install Tivoli Storage Manager. If these libraries are not installed, the Tivoli Storage Manager installation will fail due to missing dependencies. The packages that need to be installed are compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-138 or later version, and compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61 or later version. These packages can be obtained from the RHEL5 installation CDs, or from the Red Hat Network web site.

RPM packages for IA64
You can find the RPM packages available for the IA64 architecture in the ia64/ directory. Packages can be installed on 64-bit RHEL4, RHEL5, SLES9 and SLES10. The package names are as follows:

Software packages to install
TIVsm-server-5.4.1-0.ia64.rpm - Tivoli Storage Manager server TIVsm-tsmscsi-5.4.1-0.ia64.rpm - Tivoli Storage Manager non-IBM devices support TIVsm-stagent-5.4.1-0.ia64.rpm - Tivoli Storage Manager storage agent TIVsm-license-5.4.1-0.ia64.rpm - Tivoli Storage Manager license enabler

Language packages
You can find the language packages available for the IA64 architecture in the noarch/ directory. Packages can be installed on RHEL4, RHEL5, SLES9 and SLES10.

## Installing Tivoli Storage Manager components

To install a server fix pack, you must have the Tivoli Storage Manager license package installed. The license package is provided with the purchase of the 5.4.1 fix pack release. Storage agent installations do not require a license package.

Server and device support installation
The default installation location for Tivoli Storage Manager packages is /opt. To install to a different location, use the --prefix option in RPM. Refer to Red Hat Package Manager documentation, included with RPM, for details on its use.

1. Create a temporary directory and download the files into it. Then, extract the RPM packages. For example, issue the following commands:

       mkdir tsm
       cd tsm
       bunzip2 5.4.1.0-TIV-TSMSRV-LinuxIA64.tar.bz
       tar xvf 5.4.1.0-TIV-TSMSRV-LinuxIA64.tar

2. Run the install script command to display the license agreement and install the server and device support packages. Issue the following:

   `./install_server`

3. Once you have accepted the license agreement, a menu will be displayed with all the available RPM packages for the corresponding platforms. At this point, you can either quit the install_server script by pressing ’q’ followed by the Enter key, or select packages from the menu to be installed. If you exit the menu, you can still install any of the RPM packages that correspond to your platform manually.

Storage agent installation

1. Create a temporary directory and download the storage agent files into it. Then, extract the RPM packages. For example, issue the following commands:

       mkdir tsm
       cd tsm
       bunzip2 5.4.1.0-TIV-TSMSTA-LinuxIA64.tar.bz2
       tar xvf 5.4.1.0-TIV-TSMSTA-LinuxIA64.tar

2. Install the storage agent.
   - For a first time installation, issue the following:

     `rpm -ivh TIVsm-stagent-5.4.1-0.ia64.rpm`

   - To upgrade your existing storage agent, issue the following:

     `rpm -Uvh TIVsm-stagent-5.4.1-0.ia64.rpm --prefix /usr`

Manual installation
If you are installing the product for the first time on your machine:

- Use the command rpm -ivh , where pkgname is the RPM file you want to install. For example, issue the following, where x.x is the release level, y-y is the interim fix level, and zzz is the architecture:

  `rpm -ivh TIVsm-server-x.x.y-y.zzz.rpm`

If you are upgrading to a later version of the product:

- Use the command rpm -Uvh , where pkgname is the RPM file name. Note that if an older version of the product is installed under a non-default file system, you will need to use the --prefix rpm option so that the new version gets installed in the correct file system. For example, issue the following where x.x is the release level, y-y is the interim fix level, and zzz is the architecture of the level you want to upgrade to:

  `rpm -Uvh TIVsm-server-x.x.y-y.zzz.rpm --prefix /usr`

## Uninstalling Tivoli Storage Manager components

Before removing your Tivoli Storage Manager server or storage agent, you must halt all active server or storage agent processes. If you attempt to uninstall a Tivoli Storage Manager component before all processes for that component have been halted, an error message will be issued and the uninstallation will stop. It is recommended that you perform a full database backup before uninstalling the Tivoli Storage Manager server. For more information on database backups, see the BACKUP DB command in the Tivoli Storage Manager Administrator's Reference for Linux.

To uninstall Tivoli Storage Manager components:

1. Determine which Tivoli Storage Manager packages you have installed by issuing the following command:

   `rpm -qa | grep TIVsm`

2. Uninstall a package by issuing the following command:

   `rpm -e <packagenames>`

   where packagenames is one or more installed package names, separated by a space.

   For example: `rpm -e TIVsm-tsmscsi TIVsm-server`
