1a) Install Instructions:
------------------------

The installation of the server requires that the license terms be
accepted by user. The Server package won't install unless the license 
terms are accepted. 
If you already have IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Server, 
version 5.2.2.0 installed on your system, it may not be necessary to 
accept the license terms. 

Use the commands bunzip2 and tar to extract the rpm packages. For example:
bunzip2 TIVsm-server-5.2.3-0.Linux.i686.tar.bz2
mkdir tsm
cd tsm
tar xvf ../TIVsm-server-5.2.3-0.Linux.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.

If you get the error "The TSM Server can not be installed unless the license terms
have been agreed to" when installing the TIVsm-server package, execute 
section 1b) below. 

1b) Accepting the License Terms

Go to the directory where the TIVsm-server package was uncompressed and unpacked.
Example: 
cd /tsm

-Execute the script install_server. The syntax is: 

   ./install_server [prefix]

where prefix is optional, and it denotes the file system where you would like 
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager to be installed. If no prefix is given, 
the default is /opt.
 
-From the following menu, select a number for the language that you prefer to 
display the license agreement. Press Enter.
Software Licensing Agreement
1. Czech
2. English
3. French
4. German
5. Italian
6. Polish
7. Portuguese
8. Spanish
9. Turkish

-The install_server script will display the license agreement in the language specified,
and ask for you to accept them. To accept the license agreement, press 1 followed by 
the Enter key.

- Once you have accepted the license agreement, a menu will be displayed
with all the available RPM packages for the corresponding platform. 
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 manually install any of the RPM packages that correspond to your 
architecture by using rpm. See section 1a) above. 
To install to a different location, use the --prefix
option in rpm. Please refer to RedHat Package Manager documentation
for details on rpm usage.

If you chose to use the menu, Choosing the Basic(b) installation will install the 
server, the Web Administrative Interface, and the English command line help. 
If you're installing from a CD-ROM media,
the Basic(b) selection will also install the license enabler. 


KNOWN RESTRICTION: After the server is installed the license is saved in text
     format, for all supported languages, in the tivoli/tsm/server/license
     directory. To view any of the license agreement files that are in a
      language other than English the appropriate codepage must be used. The
     license agreement files can be viewed in a web browser that supports the
     following character sets:

   NOTE: 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.
