3) RPM Packages needed:
=======================

TIVsm-stagent-5.1.8-4.i386.rpm ....................TSM Storage Agent

NOTE: The tsmscsi(TSM Device Drivers) package was not updated on this patch.

4) To install packages:
=======================

You should have a previous version of TSM Storage Agent installed. To update that version, issue:

> rpm -Uvh rpmfilename

where rpmfilename is one of the rpm file names listed under section 3 above

The TSM Storage Agent will install under /opt/tivoli/tsm/StorageAgent/bin by default. 
To install to a different file system, sepecify the --prefix option on the 
rpm command. For example:

rpm -Uvh --prefix /usr TIVsm-stagent-5.1.8-4.i386.rpm

The above command will upgrade the TSM Storage Agent installed under /usr/tivoli/tsm/StorageAgent
