Tivoli Storage Manager for Sun Solaris 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:

    |eject cdrom                                                                     |
