Install Instructions
--------------------

Use the commands bunzip2 and tar to extract the rpm packages. For example:
bunzip2 TIVsm-stagent-5.2.3-1.i686.tar.bz2
mkdir tsm
cd tsm
tar xvf ../TIVsm-stagent-5.2.3-1.i686.tar

Execute the rpm command as follows:

rpm -Uvh [ --prefix prefix] <pkgname>
  
where prefix is optional, and it denotes the file system where you would like 
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager to be installed, and <pkgname> denotes one of the 
packages listed on session 4 below.  If no prefix is given, the default 
install path is /opt.

   NOTE: Kernel levels listed on web site may be outdated and support is not shipped
         with latest TSM Fix Pack. If support is needed for outdated kernels listed on
         the support web site, contact TSM Support.

   For a list of supported kernel levels on previous levels of ITSM
   Device Drivers, see the Linux support web page at
   http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&uid=swg21111628

3) Notice for SLES7 users
   ----------------------

   Two kernel levels are supported on SLES7. If ITSM Device Driver is used
   on SLES7, and there is more than one kernel installed on the SLES7 system,
   tsmscsi script will prompt users to enter the kernel level for which the ITSM 
   device driver will be used. Ensure that the kernel running on the system is 
   the one entered at the prompt; otherwise the device driver will be loaded but 
   will fail to manage the storage devices. The command uname -r will not 
   idendify the specific kernel level that the system is running. Thus, users will 
   have to identify the running kernel level in a different way.
