Installing on AIX and Linux® systems

Install the IBM Storage Protect server and the Operations Center on the same system.

Before you begin

Verify that the operating system is set to the language that you require. By default, the language of the operating system is the language of the installation wizard.
Ensure that you have installed the minimum supported version of AIX. For more information about the minimum supported version of AIX®, see technote 7192718.

Verify that the required RPM files are installed on your system.

See Installing prerequisite RPM files for the graphical wizard for details.
Before you download the installation package, verify that you have enough space to store the installation files when they are extracted from the product package.
For space requirements, see the download document at technote 7275905 and technote 7275899.
Go to Passport Advantage® and download the package file to an empty directory of your choice.
Ensure that executable permission is set for the package. If necessary, change the file permissions by issuing the following command:
```
chmod a+x package_name.bin
```
Extract the package by issuing the following command:
```
./package_name.bin
```
where package_name is the name of the downloaded file.
Ensure that the following command is enabled so that the wizards work properly:
```
lsuser
```
By default, the command is enabled.
Change to the directory where you placed the executable file.
Start the installation wizard by issuing the following command:
```
./install.sh
```
When you select the packages to install, choose both the server and Operations Center.

If errors occur during the installation process, the errors are recorded in log files that are stored in the IBM Installation Manager logs directory.
To view installation log files from the Installation Manager tool, click File > View Log. To collect these log files from the Installation Manager tool, click Help > Export Data for Problem Analysis.
After you install the server and before you customize it for your use, go to the support site. Click Support and downloads and apply any applicable fixes.
