Procedure

To install Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager on the production server, complete the following steps.

Log on to the production server and use the root user ID. Change to the directory where you downloaded the package file or insert the DVD into the DVD drive. Use one of the following methods to start the installation:
Graphical user interface with the installation wizard
The installation wizard requires a graphical X Window System installation. Make sure the environment variable DISPLAY specifies host:display, where host identifies the host name of the X Server to be contacted and display is the display number. To use the graphical installation wizard, from a command prompt window, enter this command:
```
./4.1.0.0-TIV-TSFCM-OS-platform.bin
```
If the graphical X Window System is not present, the installation continues in console mode.
Console mode
To install in console mode, from a command prompt window, enter this command:
```
./4.1.0.0-TIV-TSFCM-OS-platform.bin -i console
```
Follow the prompts to install Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager.
Note: During the installation, you are prompted to active the database or database instances. Depending on your database application complete one of the following steps:
- Select one or more DB2® instances.
- Enter the Oracle database instance home directory.
On the Summary page, review your installation settings. If an error occurs during the installation process, correct the errors and restart the installation procedure. Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager creates an installation.log file in the FCM_INSTALL_DIR directory. You can use the log file to troubleshoot installation errors.

What to do next

After the installation, you must configure the application and database instances to complete the installation.

During the installation, you select the database instances or custom applications to activate. For all instances selected, the installer copies all the necessary files from the installation directory (FCM_INSTALL_DIR) to a database or application instance-specific installation directory (INSTANCE_DIR). The correct access rights for the directories are assigned.

To activate any additional instances or custom applications that were not selected during the installation, complete the following steps:

Log in to the production server and use the root user ID. Change to the FCM_INSTALL_DIR directory.
Run the appropriate command to activate the database or custom application instance:
DB2

./setup_db2.sh -a install -d DB2_instance_owner_$HOME_directory/sqllib/

Oracle in an SAP environment

./setup_ora.sh -a install -d Oracle_instance_owner_$HOME_directory

Oracle

./setup_ora.sh -a install -d Oracle_instance_owner_$HOME_directory
If the home directory of the database instance owner is not identical to the database instance directory, install in the database instance directory. For example, $ORACLE_HOME. For installations where $ORACLE_HOME is shared between multiple database instances, any other directory that is unique to this instance can be used.

Custom applications
The default installation directory is $HOME/acs. $HOME is the home directory of the application backup user. The following command creates the $HOME/acs directory:
```
./setup_gen.sh -a install -d Application_owner_$HOME_directory
```
