Installing the space management client for AIX systems

You can install the space management client for AIX® systems directly from the DVD or from a local directory where you copy the client files.

1. 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

   For information about configuring GPFS integration with the space management client, see technote 7018848.

2. Issue the smitty install command. If you are installing from a hard disk directory, remove the .toc file from that directory before you issue the smitty command.
3. Select Install and Update Software and press Enter.
4. Select Install and Update from ALL Available Software and press Enter.
5. In the INPUT device / directory for software field, select one of the following options and press Enter.
   1. /usr/sys/inst.images (directory of installation images)
   2. /dev/cd0 (installation from DVD)
6. In the SOFTWARE to Install field press F4.
7. Scroll through the file sets and press F7 to select the Tivoli® Storage Manager file sets that you want to install and press Enter. The space management client installation requires the following file sets:
   • Tivoli Storage Manager application programming interface
   • Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive client common files
   • Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive client base files
8. Select the options that you want and press Enter to begin the installation.
9. If needed, unmount the DVD drive.
