Procedure

To install IBM Storage Protect Snapshot on the production server, complete these steps.

Log on to the production server and use the root user ID. Change to the directory where you downloaded the package file. 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, enter this command:
```
./<version>-TIV-TSFCM-<platform>.bin
```
If the graphical X Window System is not present, the installation continues in console mode.
Console mode
To install in console mode, enter the following command:
```
./<version>-TIV-TSFCM-<platform>.bin -i console
```
Follow the prompts to install IBM Storage Protect Snapshot.
In the Pre-Installation Summary, review your installation settings.

The installation directory for AIX is /usr/tivoli/tsfcm/acs_<version>

The installation directory for Linux is /opt/tivoli/tsfcm/acs_<version>

If an error occurs during the installation process, correct the errors and restart the installation procedure. Find the installation.log file in the installation directory to troubleshoot installation errors.

What to do next

After the installation, you must activate the database instance from the installation directory of the new version, and configure the database instances to complete the installation process.
