Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide


Installing the Software on Your Workstation

Attention

For current installation information, refer to the README file that is shipped on the product installation media.

Follow these steps to install the software on your Windows Me, NT, 2000, XP, or Windows.NET workstations.

  1. Insert the CD-ROM that contains the Tivoli Storage Manager Windows client into your CD-ROM drive. If you have autorun enabled, the installation dialog should start when the CD loads. If the installation dialog does not start automatically, you can start it manually. Select Run from the Start menu and at the prompt, type:

    x:\setup where x is your CD-ROM drive and click OK.

  2. Follow the instructions displayed on the screen.
    Note:
    If files from a previous version are in the installation directory, the installer will replace them. If you want to save the older version's files, copy them to another directory before you install the new version.

    Installation Setup Types:
    There are two setup types:
    • Choosing Typical installs the minimum necessary to provide normal backup and archive functions. This includes the Backup-Archive Client, the API Runtime files, and the Web Client.
      Note:
      Use the Custom setup type to install the Administrative Client Command Line or support for additional languages.
    • Choosing Custom takes you to the Custom Setup window. From this window, you can click on any program feature icon to modify that feature. You can select from the following program features:
      • Backup-Archive Client
      • Backup-Archive Web Client
      • Client API Runtime Files
      • Client API SDK Files
      • Administrative Client Command Line
      • Online Information
      • Language Support

      Notes:

      1. The Backup-Archive Client, the API, and the Web Client are interdependent. If you select the Backup-Archive Client, you must also select the API. Similarly, if you select the Web client, you must also select the Backup-Archive Client and the API.

      2. The Backup-Archive Client component includes the client scheduler files. See Starting the Client Scheduler for more information about the client scheduler.

      3. The installer displays the exact amount of disk space that is required for each program feature. Make sure that there is enough disk space on the destination drive for the files you have chosen to install. The installation program will not install to a destination drive with insufficient disk space.

      4. If necessary, install support files for your communication method.
  3. Click Finish when installation completes.

Notes:

  1. If you do not have a dsm.opt file, a setup wizard will launch automatically to help you configure an initial options file. See Creating and Modifying the Client Options File (Required ) for detailed information about configuring an initial options file.

  2. If you installed the Web client, see Starting a Web Client Session for configuration information.

  3. Beginning with Version 4.1, the installer no longer installs the response file SETUP.ISS. If you are new to Tivoli Storage Manager, this is not important to you.
