Tivoli Storage Manager for Sun Solaris Quick Start


Installing Tivoli Storage Manager

This installation procedure includes the Tivoli Storage Manager server, online books, Sun Solaris backup-archive and administrative command-line clients, and application programming client (API). You can install one or more of these components. This procedure applies to installing TSM for the first time. If you are installing from the licensed product CD-ROM, the licensing component is installed as part of the server package. For information on licensing, see Registering Licenses.

The default clients are registered with the following defaults:

Client Name Password
Administrative admin admin
Backup-archive client client
The procedure also creates a default client system options file (dsm.sys) and client user options file (dsm.opt) for the backup-archive client.

See Installing the Clients for information on installing the administrative and backup-archive clients on platforms other than Sun. The clients for other platforms can be installed directly from the CD-ROM. If a CD-ROM drive is available to the client platform, the files can be copied to a file server and distributed.

The default installation directories are:

To install TSM:

  1. Log in as the root user.
  2. Insert the CD into the drive.

    See the readme files in the CD-ROM root directory /cdrom.

  3. Enter the following command for a list of packages that you can install:
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |/usr/sbin/pkgadd -d /cdrom/cdrom0                                               |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

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

    You can make multiple selections at this step, including the TSM for Sun Solaris clients. For information about client installation, see Installing the Tivoli Storage Manager for Sun Solaris Clients.

    The TSM server packages are:

    TIVsmS
    The base product with English language support.

    TIVsmSdev
    The device driver package. Install this package if you using any devices other than IBM 3490, 3570, and 3590 tape drives.

    TIVsmSlic
    The server license module and *.lic files.

    The PKGADD command loads the selected files.

    Notes:

    1. Loading the server files can take several minutes, and it may take a few minutes for the installation to begin after the server package has been selected.

    2. The installation program automatically installs the TSM server based on the level of Sun Solaris on the installation machine.
  4. The system issues this message:

    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
  5. When the installation has completed successfully, enter the following commands from a root user command prompt to eject the CD:
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |cd /                                                                            |
    |eject cdrom                                                                     |
