Follow these installation steps to install directly from the Data Protection for Oracle DVD:

Procedure

  1. Log in using the root user ID.
  2. Mount the Data Protection for Oracle DVD to /cdrom:
    $ mount <device name> /cdrom
  3. Create a /cdrom directory on the Linux on System z® system if one does not exist, and mount /cdrom to the /cdrom directory on the Linux on System z system.
    $ mount -o soft hostname:/cdrom /cdrom  

    where hostname is the system with the accessible DVD device.

  4. Change to the <cdrom>/oracle/linux86_64/api directory where the installation package is located:
    $ cd <cdrom>/oracle/linux86_64/api
  5. Issue the following command to install the Tivoli Storage Manager API in English:
    $ rpm -i TIVsm-API64.x86_64.rpm
    • To install the Tivoli Storage Manager API in another language, issue this command for that language:
      $ rpm -i TIVsm-msg.xx_XX.i386.rpm
      where xx_XX represents the country code for the language contents of the package.
  6. Change to the cdrom/oracle/linux86_64 directory where the Data Protection for Oracle installable file is located:
    $ cd <cdrom>/oracle/linux86_64
    Note: cdrom is the drive where the DVD is mounted.
  7. Enter the name of the installable file, TDP-Oracle.x86_64.bin, and press Enter to install Data Protection for Oracle:
    $ TDP-Oracle.x86_64.bin
    • To install the product in console mode, enter the following command, and press Enter:
      $ TDP-Oracle.x86_64.bin -i console
    • To install the product in silent mode, enter the following command, and press Enter:
      $ TDP-Oracle.x86_64.bin -i silent 
    • To install the product in GUI mode, enter the following command, and press Enter:
      $ TDP-Oracle.x86_64.bin -i gui 

    Typically the file name is TDP-Oracle.x86_64.bin, however, if the installable file was downloaded from the FTP site, the file name might be different.

    The libobk.so library file is located automatically based on the link that the installation program places in the /usr/lib64 directory.

  8. To install Data Protection for Oracle in a language other than English, enter the name of the Data Protection for Oracle installable file for that language, TDPOracle.msg.xx_XX.bin. Press Enter:
    $ TDPOracle.msg.xx_XX.x86_64.bin

    Ensure that the Tivoli Storage Manager API language package for that language, TIVsm-msg.xx_XX.x86_64.rpm, is also installed.
