Installing the space management client for IBM Storage Scale Linux systems

You can install the space management client on IBM® Storage Scale Linux® systems from the product installation media.

Before you begin

You must be logged in as the root user to install the product.

About this task

This installation procedure can be used to install new distributions or updates from downloaded installation media. The downloaded files that you use to install the space management 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.

You can download the appropriate package file from one of the following websites:

Download the space management client package from Passport Advantage® or Fix Central.
For the latest information, updates, and maintenance fixes, go to the IBM Support Portal.

Before installation, you must first check the GSKit signature of the rpm package as follows:

Download the GSKit public PGP key GSKit.pub.pgp from the download sites that also contain the client packages.
Import the GSKit public key by entering the following command:
```
rpm --import GSKit.pub.pgp
```
Verify the GSKit rpm file by entering the following command:
```
rpm --checksig <GSKit rpm file> verbose
```
where <GSKit rpm file> is the name of a GSKit rpm package that is listed in Table 1 - Package names, contents, and default directory.

You must then check the signature of the space management client package as follows:

Download the generated gpk key RPM-GPG-KEY-ibmpkg from the download sites that also contain the space management client packages.
Import the generated gpk key by entering the following command:
```
rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-ibmpkg
```
Verify the space management client package by entering the following command:
```
rpm -K <space_management_client_package>.rpm
```
where <space_management_client_package> is the name of an rpm package that is listed in Table 1 - Package names and descriptions.

Procedure

Change directory to the installation packages directory.
Optional: Specify HSMINSTALLMODE=SCOUTFREE.
If you want the IBM Storage Scale 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
```
