Tivoli Storage Manager Installation Packages

Tivoli Storage Manager uses three types of AIX installation packaging. The type used depends on the content of the delivery. It is very important to understand the consequences of each type of install.

New Install and Migrate
For a new version or release of Tivoli Storage Manager, install packages are set up to do a new install if no prior version is installed or a migrate install if a prior version is installed. A new install or a migrate install always establishes a base level for each fileset. In the case of a migrate install the prior base level and all updates to that base level are removed from the system. You cannot remove filesets installed by a migrate install without uninstalling the product.

Update Install
An update install package is used with a maintenance update (PTF) or a patch used to correct a small number of high impact problems. An update install allows the package to be rejected after installation and does not force a re-basing of a fileset. You should use the SMIT option "Install and Update from ALL Available Software" and set "COMMIT software updates?" to no and "SAVE replaced files?" to yes.
Note:
If you COMMIT a fileset, you have just rebased that fileset and cannot remove it without uninstalling the product.
