Quick Start


Installing Tivoli Storage Manager

You can use the following procedure to install the server, device support, AIX backup-archive client, AIX administrative command line client, and AIX application programming interface (API). The default installation directories are:

If you choose to install the default clients, they are registered with the following defaults:

Client ID Name Password
Administrative admin admin
Backup-archive client client

See Tivoli Storage Manager Installing the Clients for information on installing the administrative and backup-archive clients on platforms other than AIX. The clients for other platforms can be installed directly from the CD-ROM. If a CD-ROM drive is not available to the client platform, the files can be copied to a file server and distributed.

The instructions in this section are shown using the Software Management and Installation Tool (SMIT). You can also use Installation Software Manager or command line tools (with or without fastpath).

Note:Throughout this procedure, /dev/cd0 is used for CD-ROM. This may be different in your environment. Loading the server files can take several minutes.

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 E, Tivoli Storage Manager National Language Version (NLV) Feature Considerations.

    For AIX 4.2.1 and 4.3.x, 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 values you set for the locale stanza variables in your /var/adm/ras/bosinst.data file control which translated TSM messages, help, and device selection messages in SMIT, in addition to U.S. English, are automatically installed. Languages available are U.S. English, Japanese, simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese, Korean, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, and German. The server installation defaults to U.S. English. See your AIX installation manual for details.

    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 TSM components (server, license, client) that you require. The following table lists the component fileset file names. For client fileset file names, see Tivoli Storage Manager Installing the Clients.

  13. Tivoli Storage Manager is shipped with sample command scripts that can be loaded into the database and run from an administrative client, administrative web interface, or server console. They can also be included in administrative command schedules. The sample scripts, in scripts.smp, are primarily SELECT queries, but also include scripts that define volumes for and extend the database and recovery log and that backup storage pools.

    To load the sample scripts into the database, issue the following command:

    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |dsmserv runfile /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/webimages/scripts.smp                    |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  14. To use the web administrative interface:

    1. Your browser must have Java 1.1.6 support (for example, Netscape 4.06 or later and Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later).

    2. Configure the HTTP communication method in your server options file (dsmserv.opt).
      +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
      |commmethod          http                                                        |
      |   httpport         1580                                                        |
      +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

    3. Enter the following command:
      +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
      |dsmserv runfile /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/webimages/dsmserv.idl                    |
