Quick Start


Installing Tivoli Storage Manager

You can use the following procedure to install the server and device support. The default installation directories are:

Note:
During server installation, rmitab autosrvr is run. This may remove customized autosrvr entries. The installation may remove all lines with the identifier autosrvr even if you have customized other options and commands under this identifier.

Here is the SMIT procedure:

  1. Log in as the root user.
  2. Load the CD-ROM into the selected drive.
  3. From your desktop window, access SMIT and make selections according to the level of your AIX operating system.
    Note:
    When you are changing the language capability, selection paths differ from those shown here. See Appendix D, National Language Support.

    Enter:

    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |smit install_update &                                                           |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

    Then select:

    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |Install and Update Software                                                     |
    |   Install and Update from the LATEST Available Software                        |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
  4. On the next window, select the device that you are using for the installation. You can enter the drive name in the window or click on List to access the device list.

    If you click on List, select the CD-ROM drive that you are using for the installation (for example, /dev/cd0).

  5. Click on OK.
  6. Locate the line Software to Install.
    Note:
    The value of the environment variable LANG controls which translated messages, help, and device selection messages in SMIT are automatically installed.
    1. To install all components listed in the table at step 7, continue at step 9.
    2. To selectively install components, click on List for the latest available software packages and continue at step 7.
  7. Select the components that you require. Review Table 7 and Table 8 to install the correct filesets that correspond to the version of Tivoli Storage Manager and kernel that you are running.

    Notes:

    1. The server common code tivoli.tsm.server.com is required by both servers (the rte filesets).

    2. The 32-bit server (tivoli.tsm.server.rte) and 64-bit server (tivoli.tsm.server.aix5.rte64) are mutually exclusive. They cannot reside on the same machine at the same time.

    3. The 32-bit license fileset requires the 32-bit server fileset.

    4. The 64-bit license fileset requires the 64-bit server fileset.


    Attention

    When installing a fileset, you may receive the following message: installp: APPLYING software for: <package name>... The parameter list is too long.

    This problem occurs when filesets deliver a large list of files causing the buffer to overflow. To correct this problem, do the following:

    1. Uninstall the fileset that caused the error message.
    2. Apply AIX fix U472458 (available at http://techsupport.services.ibm.com/rs6000/fixes).
    3. Reinstall the fileset.

    Be aware of the following dependencies:

    • To register your license, install the appropriate license enablement fileset and the server run time fileset depending on which kernel you are running. If you are running tivoli.tsm.server.rte, install the filesets (tivoli.tsm.license.rte and tivoli.tsm.license.cert). If you are running tivoli.tsm.server.aix5.rte64, install the filesets (tivoli.tsm.license.aix5.rte64 and tivoli.tsm.license.cert).
    • To use the administrative Web interface, install the tivoli.tsm.server.webadmin fileset.
    • To use tape, optical, and library devices and to use the tape label utility (DSMLABEL), install the device packages.
  8. Click on OK.
  9. Check the default settings for the options on this window.
  10. To continue, click OK.

    SMIT responds:

    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |ARE YOU SURE?...                                                                |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
  11. To continue, click OK.

    This installation may take several minutes.

    Note:
    Some file sets are operating system level-specific and will fail to install. This is normal behavior, and should not be interpreted as an error.
  12. After the installation is complete, click Done, remove the CD, and exit from SMIT.
  13. To use the administrative Web interface:
    1. Your browser must provide Java 1.1.6 support. See System Requirements.
    2. Configure the HTTP communication method in your server options file (dsmserv.opt).
