Quick Start
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.
