1.

Current TSM clients can be downloaded from


ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-
management/maintenance/client/v6r3/Linux/
2. Login as root.
3. Enter the following commands to install the 32-bit API and the TSM B/A Client.
This will install the command-line and the administrative Client: rpm -i TIVsm-
API.i386.rpm rpm -i TIVsm-BA.i386.rpm
Enter the following commands to install the 64-bit API and the TSM B/A Client.
This will install the command-line and the administrative Client:
rpm -i TIVsm-API.i386.rpm rpm -i TIVsm-API64.i386.rpm rpm -i TIVsm-
BA.i386.rpm
4. Once the client and scheduler have been installed, you will need to modify the
dsm.sys file using a text editor. (Make sure the file is saved as a standard text
document as hidden characters can sometimes prevent TSM from processing the
dsm.sys file properly)
5. Your dsm.sys file should look similar to the example here:

SErvername Server
COMMMethod TCPip
TCPPort Portnumber
TCPServeraddress Serveraddress
NODename Node
PASSWORDAccess generate
SCHEDLOGRetention 14 D
SCHEDLOGName /var/log/dsm/dsmsched.log
ERRORLOGRetention 14 D
ERRORLOGName /var/log/dsm/dsmerror.log
MANAGEDServices schedule
QUERYSCHedperiod 6
Notes:
Ensure that you install these packages in the given order. This is required because
the TSM API package is a prerequisite of the B/A Client package.
The Web Client is an integral part of the Backup-Archive Client package and
cannot be installed without it.
X Windows System X11R6 is a requirement to install the Client. If it is not
installed and you do not plan to use the end user GUI you have to add the --
nodeps option of rpm to disable the check for requirements.
For Linux flavors that does not support rpm then you will have to get installation
support from your Linux vendor.
For the dsm.sys file, you will need to replace the options in italics with the
information provided to you by the Storage and Backup Group.
For detailed instructions, please see the Getting Started section of the readme or the
manuals.
