Scenario 2: Installing the upgrade utilities on Linux systems

Install the upgrade utilities on the system. The package to install is available for download from the FTP downloads site. The upgrade utilities are used to prepare and extract the database from the original server.

Procedure

Obtain the upgrade utilities package from the FTP downloads site.
1. Go to ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance/server-upgrade/v5r5/
2. Navigate to the directory that names the operating system that your V5 server runs on. From that directory, open the 5.5.x.x directory. The 5.5.x.x number must be the same as or later than the level of the V5 server that you are upgrading.
3. Open the directory for your operating system and download the package. The name of the package has the following form:
```
5.5.x.x-TIV-TSMUPG-platform.tar.bz2
```
  The numbers at the beginning of the package name identify the release level of the upgrade utilities package.
4. Optional: To install messages in a language other than English, open the LANG directory, and download a language package. Translated messages are available in the usual set of languages for a V5 server.
Log in with the root user ID.
Extract the contents of the upgrade utilities package. For example, from the directory where you saved the download package, issue the commands:
```
bunzip2 package_name.tar.bz2
tar xvf package_name.tar
```
Navigate to the directory that corresponds to the processor architecture of the operating system, for example, x86_64.
Install the upgrade utilities and the device driver. Use the following command:
```
rpm -ivh package_name.rpm
```
The utilities are installed in the directory /opt/tivoli/tsm/upgrade/bin by default.
Optional: Install the language package.
1. Extract the contents of the downloaded package.
```
bunzip2 package_name.tar.bz2
tar xvf package_name.tar
```
2. Install the package for the language that you want to use.
```
rpm -ivh package_name.rpm
```
3. Enter the following command to set the locale environment variable for messages:
```
export LC_MESSAGES=xxxx
```
  where xxxx is the locale that you want to use. For example, use it_IT for Italian. The upgrade utilities run with the locale that you specify if the following statements are true:
  - The locale is installed on the system.
  - The upgrade utilities support the locale.
  - The language package that you installed for the upgrade utilities matches the locale.
  Tip: The locales that are supported for the upgrade utilities are the same as the locales that are supported for the V5.5 server on the same operating system. For a list of locales, go to the Tivoli Storage Manager V5 documentation. In the Tivoli® Storage Manager Installation Guide, see Appendix A.
After the upgrade utilities are installed, continue at Scenario 2: Setting environment variables for the upgrade utilities on AIX, HP-UX, Linux, and Oracle Solaris systems.
