Tivoli Storage Manager for Macintosh Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide

Installing the Macintosh Client Program (Required)

The Tivoli Storage Manager Macintosh client is included on the desktop client installation CD-ROM in the tsmcli/mac directory structure.

You can display online startup information, product manuals, and readmes. On a Web browser:

  1. Click File and then click Open File.
  2. Select the CD-ROM drive.
  3. Select the START.HTM file.

Preparing for Installation From the Client CD-ROM

  1. Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
  2. Double-click on the CD-ROM icon.
  3. Go to the clients:mac folder.
  4. Drag the file tsminst.hqx directly from the CD-ROM to your hard drive. If you FTP the file from another workstation that has mounted the CD-ROM, ensure it is transferred in ASCII mode.
  5. Locate a BinHex converter. The Tivoli Storage Manager Macintosh installation file is stored in BinHex format. You must convert this file before installation by using a BinHex translator. Programs such as Stuffit Deluxe and Compact Pro can convert the files. Also, a freeware program called BinHex 4.0 can be found at most major FTP sites (including ftp.apple.com) and from online services, such as CompuServe and America Online.
  6. Use the BinHex translator and choose the HQX file located on your hard drive. Save the converted file to your hard drive. An installation program called TSM Installer is created on your hard drive after you finish the BinHex conversion.

Installing the Program

  1. Double-click on the TSM Installer program icon.
  2. When the Tivoli Storage Manager installation window appears, click on the Continue button.
  3. When the Read Me file appears, read through the file to learn about recent updates and product changes. You can print this file for later reference by clicking on the print button. When you have finished reading this file, click on the Continue button.
  4. The TSM Backup Standard Install window displays:
    1. Select Install to install the standard installation package which includes the Tivoli Storage Manager Backup Program.
    2. Select Custom if you want to customize the standard installation package.
  5. Decide where you want to store the Tivoli Storage Manager files, and type the desired folder name in the installation folder field in the installation window. Tivoli Storage Manager is the default folder. If you choose a folder name that is not already listed, a new folder is created for you. Click on the Install button to begin the installation process.
  6. You are asked whether you want the Tivoli Storage Manager scheduler daemon to start automatically when you start your system:
    Note:
    On Macintosh OS X, you will not be prompted to setup the daemon to start automatically; see Automating Tasks for instruction on how to start the daemon automatically at login time
  7. After installation completes you are asked if you want to quit, restart if you are finished, or perform further installations. After installation, see Configuring IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for required configuration tasks to perform before using Tivoli Storage Manager.

Updating a Previously Installed Version of Tivoli Storage Manager

To update a previously installed version of Tivoli Storage Manager, navigate to the folder that contains the Tivoli Storage Manager folder, then enter the name of the folder where the Tivoli Storage Manager files reside in the installation folder field in the installation window. The installer installs the updated files into this folder and overwrites the old Tivoli Storage Manager files, but does not replace any existing preferences files (except for TSM Backup Preferences-Sample). Click on the install button to begin the automatic installation update process.

Note:
There is no automated process to assist with importing your options from a previous version of Tivoli Storage Manager. It may be easiest to open the old option file in a text editor then use the Configuration Assistant and the Preference editor to set the options to the values in the old preference file.

Tivoli Storage Manager Server Installation and Configuration

The Tivoli Storage Manager clients work in conjunction with the Tivoli Storage Manager server.
