Closed as program error.
Error description
The InstallationManager tool provided with the Tivoli Storage Manager server installation media uses a shared resource area (directory) to permanently store installation packages. The default shared resources area is /opt/IBM/IBMIBMShared on UNIX platforms and C:\Program Files\IBM\IBMIMShared on the Windows platform. Installation files for every level installed on the system are cached to this location. Previous installation files are not automatically pruned or removed when a newer level is installed. An option exists within InstallationManager to delete all of the files in this shared resources area, however, doing so can lead to uninstall or rollback errors. There should be an option to automatically prune these cached installation files based on the number of previous versions a user wants to keep on the system. Customer/L2 Diagnostics: None. Initial Impact: Low Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: All V7 Tivoli Storage Manager servers. Additional Keywords: TSM IM INSTALLATION MANAGER INSTALLATIONMANAGER IMSHARED INSTALL FAILURE FAILS V7 IT04964
Local fix
See APAR IT04964 for manual pruning instructions and considerations, once available.
