AIX: Installing prerequisite RPM files for the graphical wizard

Before you can use the graphical wizard of IBM® Installation Manager to install Tivoli® Storage Manager, you must ensure that the necessary RPM files are installed.

To install the necessary RPM files, complete the following steps:

1. Ensure that there is at least 150 MB of free space in the /opt file system.
2. To install the RPM files, choose one of the following options:
   • If you plan to install Tivoli Storage Manager from the product DVD, take the following actions:
     1. In the base directory of the DVD, change to the gtk directory.
     2. From the gtk directory, copy the download-prerequisites.sh file to a location where you can download the RPM files.
   • If you obtained the Tivoli Storage Manager installation package from an IBM download site such as Passport Advantage® or the IBM Support Portal, take the following action:
     • From the directory where the installation package file is extracted, go to the gtk directory.
3. Download the RPM files to the current working directory from the IBM AIX® Toolbox for Linux Applications website, by issuing the following command:

   download-prerequisites.sh

4. From the directory that contains the RPM files that you downloaded, install them by issuing the following command:

   rpm -Uvh *.rpm

   If a message indicates that one of the files is already installed on the system, take one of the following actions:

   • Issue the following command:

     rpm -Uvh --force *.rpm

   • Move the earlier versions of the files to a different directory, and issue the rpm command again, as shown in the following example:

     mkdir already-installed
     mv *.rpm already-installed
     rpm -Uvh *.rpm
