Quick Start


Installing the Tivoli Storage Manager for Sun Solaris Clients

Use the following procedure to install the Tivoli Storage Manager for Sun Solaris administrative and backup-archive clients from the TSM server CD-ROM, if you have not already done so (step 3).

Note:See Installing the Clients for installing the administrative and backup-archive clients on other platforms. The clients for other platforms can be installed directly from the client CD-ROM to the desired client platform.

  1. Log in as the root user.

  2. Insert the CD into the drive.

  3. See the readme.1st file in the CD-ROM root directory /cdrom.

  4. Enter the following command to see a list of packages to install. You can make multiple selections at this screen:
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |/usr/sbin/pkgadd -d /cdrom/cdrom0                                               |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

    For the Sun Solaris backup-archive client and the administrative command-line client, select TIVsmCba.

    The PKGADD command loads your client file selections.

    In this example, the CD-ROM name is /cdrom, although yours may be different.

    Note: Loading the client files can take several minutes. 

  5. The system asks you several questions. Enter y for all of them:
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |Do you want to continue with the installation of this package?                  |
    |                                                                                |
    |Do you want to install these setuid/setgid files?                               |
    |                                                                                |
    |This package contains scripts which will be executed with super-user (root)     |
    |permission during the process of installing the package.                        |
    |                                                                                |
    |Do you want to continue with the installation of this package?                  |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  6. When the installation completes, enter the following commands from a root user:
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |cd /                                                                            |
    |eject cdrom                                                                     |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
