You can install the IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager Linux on System z® client from the product DVD, or other installation media.
If you have Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.2 (or an earlier version) installed, remove it (rpm -e) and any other dependent software programs before you install a newer version.
If you have Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.3 (or newer) installed, you can use the rpm upgrade option (rpm -U) or the rpm freshen option (rpm -F) to upgrade the existing software to a newer version. The rpm -U command can be used to install new packages or upgrade existing packages; rpm -F can update only packages that are already installed.
Stop any running Tivoli Storage Manager processes before you uninstall or upgrade the Tivoli Storage Manager API, backup-archive client, or messages packages.
The following installation options are available in uncompressed packages on the DVD.
| Package Name | Contents | Default directory |
|---|---|---|
gskcrypt64-8.x.x.x.linux.s390x.rpm |
64-bit Global Security Kit (GSKit) packages | /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64 |
| TIVsm-API64.s390x.rpm | 64-bit application programming interface (API), which contains the Tivoli Storage Manager API shared libraries and samples. | /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64 |
| TIVsm-BA.s390x.rpm | 64-bit Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive client (command-line), administrative client (dsmadmc), the web client, and documentation. | /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba This directory is considered to be the default installation directory for many backup-archive client files. The sample system-options file (dsm.sys.smp) is written to this directory. If the DSM_DIR environment variable is not set, the dsmc executable file, the resource files, and the dsm.sys file are stored in this directory. If DSM_CONFIG is not set, the client user-options file must be in this directory. If you do not define DSM_LOG, Tivoli Storage Manager writes messages to the dsmerror.log and dsmsched.log files in the current working directory. |
TIVsm-APIcit.s390x.rpm TIVsm-BAcit.s390x.rpm |
Optional. These files provide the IBM Tivoli Common Inventory Technology components that you can use to obtain information about the number of client and server devices that are connected to the system, and the utilization of processor value units (PVUs) by server devices. For more information, see "Estimating processor value units" in the Tivoli Storage Manager server documentation. |

TIVsm-filepath-version-linuxOS.s390x.rpm where: version indicates the Tivoli Storage Manager version, and linuxOS indicates the Linux operating system that you are installing the filepath component on. TIVsm-JBB.s390x.rpm |
Files needed to support journal-based backups. | Filepath is installed in /opt/filepath JBB is installed in /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin |

This installation procedure can be used to install new distributions or updates from a DVD or other media. If you download files from Passport Advantage® or other IBM website, the files that you use to install the client might be compressed. Depending on the package file format, either copy or extract the files to disk and use these instructions to install the components and optional language packs. Install the packages in the order shown.
