This installation procedure is designed to install directly from the CD-ROM from a local or remote-mounted CD-ROM drive.

If you are installing from a Tivoli Storage Manager image run, the following command from the directory to which you copied the Tivoli Storage Manager image:

   /usr/sbin/inutoc /usr/sys/inst.images

A .toc file is created in that directory.

Attention: Do not put any user created files into /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin, the base directory into which the product is installed. Any and all files in this directory might be deleted during installation processing. Include-exclude files, dsm.opt, and dsm.sys files should not reside in this directory.

When upgrading from ADSM version 3.1 to a later client version you should consider the following:

To install Tivoli Storage Manager from the CD-ROM:

  1. Log in as the root user, insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive device, and mount the CD-ROM drive.
  2. From the AIX command line, type smitty install and press Enter.
  3. Select Install and Update Software and press Enter.
  4. Select Install and Update From ALL Available Software and press Enter.
  5. At the INPUT device/directory for software prompt, press the F4 key and select the CD-ROM device containing the installation CD-ROM or specify the directory containing the installation images, and press Enter.
  6. At the SOFTWARE to install prompt, press the F4 key. Select the Tivoli Storage Manager filesets you want to install and press Enter.
  7. Select the options you want and press Enter to begin the installation.

The Tivoli Storage Manager files are installed in the /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin directory. If you move the Tivoli Storage Manager files to another directory, you must perform the following steps:

  1. Make sure the permissions of the installed files have not changed.
  2. Update the symbolic links for the installed files in the /usr/bin directory and in the directory that contains symbolic links for each language package you install (for example, /usr/lib/nls/msg/en_US).
  3. Ensure that every user of Tivoli Storage Manager sets the DSM_DIR environment variable to the newly installed directory.

After installation completes, see Chapter 2, Configuring Tivoli Storage Manager for required and optional tasks to perform before using Tivoli Storage Manager.
