Installing the data mover feature on Linux systems

Install the data mover feature (backup-archive client) on Linux systems by using the InstallAnywhere mode.

Before you begin

To install the data mover feature, complete the following steps:

Open a command line and change directories to CD/Linux/DataMover.
If the Tivoli® Storage Manager API is not already installed on the system, complete the following steps from a command line:
1. Install the 64-bit GSKit packages:
```
rpm -U gskcrypt64-version.linux.x86_64.rpm gskssl64-version.linux.x86_64.rpm
```
  where version represent the GSKIT version in the file name on the installation media. For example, in the gskcrypt64-8.0.50.35.linux.x86_64.rpm and gskssl64-8.0.50.35.linux.x86_64.rpm files, the version is 8.0.50.35.
2. Install the 64-bit Tivoli Storage Manager API:
```
rpm -ivh TIVsm-API64.x86_64.rpm
```
3. Optional: Install the Common Inventory Technology package that is used by the API to supports processor value unit (PVU) calculations. This package depends on the API so it must be installed after the API package is installed.
```
rpm -ivh TIVsm-APIcit.x86_64.rpm
```
Install the backup-archive client, command-line client, administrative client, web client, and the documentation:
```
rpm -ivh TIVsm-BA.x86_64.rpm
```
Optional: Install the Common Inventory Technology package the client uses to send PVU metrics to the server. This package depends on the client package so it must be installed after the client package is installed.
```
rpm -ivh TIVsm-msg.language_ID.x86_64.rpm
```

If you receive any warnings or errors, check the log files for more information. See Log file activity.
