Installing the Tivoli Storage Manager Linux x86_64 client
You can install the IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager Linux x86_64 client from the product DVD, or other installation media.
Before you begin
- You must be logged in as root to install the product.
- 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 V6.3 (or later) 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 only if you did not previously install any language packages. The rpm -F command 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 or backup-archive client.
- If any language packages are installed, you must uninstall them before you install or upgrade the Tivoli Storage Manager API or backup-archive client.
