Installing the Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management client for Linux x86_64 GPFS systems

You can install the Tivoli® Storage Manager for Space Management client on Linux x86_64 General Parallel File System (GPFS™) systems by using the product DVD.

About this task

Follow these steps:

Procedure

  1. Log in as the root user and mount the DVD to the /cdrom directory if applicable.
  2. Change directory to the installation packages directory. On the DVD: cdrom/tsmcli/linux86
  3. Optional: Specify HSMINSTALLMODE=SCOUTFREE.
    If you want the GPFS policy engine to control automatic migration, you can disable the dsmmonitord and dsmscoutd automatic migration daemons. Disabling these daemons conserves system resources. To disable the automatic migration daemons, start this command in a shell:
    export HSMINSTALLMODE=SCOUTFREE
