Installing the Tivoli Storage Manager Solaris client

You can install the Tivoli® Storage Manager Oracle Solaris client from the product DVD, or other installation media.

About this task

If a previous version of Tivoli Storage Manager is installed, remove it before you install a new version. For information about removing previous Tivoli Storage Manager packages, see Uninstalling the Tivoli Storage Manager Solaris client.

This installation procedure is designed to install directly from the Tivoli Storage Manager UNIX client DVD from a local or remote-mounted DVD drive.

A Tivoli Storage Manager installation administration file (tsmadmin) is used in place of the default administration file (/var/sadm/install/admin), so that you are not asked about setuid, setgid, or superuser permission during installation. If you want to use the default administration file, remove the -a ./tsmadmin option from the commands that are shown, and answer the questions about setuid, setgid, or superuser permission during installation with Y.

Table 1. Installation package names and descriptions
Package	Package Name	Package Description
IBM® Global Security Kit (GSKit) 64 bit	gsk8cry64.pkg and gsk8ssl64.pkg	Contains the IBM GSKit that provides Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 64-bit data encryption between the Tivoli Storage Manager client and server.
Tivoli Storage Manager application programming interface (API)	TIVsmCapi.pkg	Contains the Tivoli Storage Manager 64-bit API shared library and samples.
Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive client	TIVsmCba.pkg	Contains the following 64-bit components: Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive client (command-line and GUI) Tivoli Storage Manager Administrative Client (command-line) Tivoli Storage Manager web backup-archive client Note: TCP/IP and Shared memory are supported as communication methods. The web client is a part of the backup-archive client package and cannot be installed without it.

This installation procedure can be used to install new distributions or updates from a DVD or other media. If you download files from Passport Advantage® or other IBM website, the files that you use to install the client might be compressed. Depending on the package file format, either copy or extract the files to disk and use these instructions to install the components. Install these packages in the order shown; some packages depend on the presence of others. For example, GSKit is a prerequisite of the API, and the API is a prerequisite of the backup-archive client package.

Procedure

Log in as the root user.
Mount the volume or DVD that you are installing from.
Change to the directory where the packages are stored. If you are installing from DVD, change to the /dvd/tsmcli/solaris directory.
The IBM GSKit; it is a prerequisite of the Tivoli Storage Manager API package. Install GSKit by using the following commands:
```
pkgadd -n -a ./tsmadmin -d ./gsk8cry64.pkg gsk8cry64
pkgadd -n -a ./tsmadmin -d ./gsk8ssl64.pkg gsk8ssl64
```
Note: On Solaris 10, these commands install the 64-bit GSKit in the global zone and in all running non-global zones. To install Tivoli Storage Manager in a sparse-root, non-global zone only, GSKit must first be installed in the global zone. On Solaris 11, the packages are only installed in the zone where these commands are run.
Use the following command to install the Tivoli Storage Manager API:
```
pkgadd -n -a ./tsmadmin -d ./TIVsmCapi.pkg TIVsmCapi 
```
Note: On Solaris 10, this command installs the Tivoli Storage Manager 64-bit API in the global zone and in all running non-global zones. If you want to install it in the global zone only, use the -G parameter of the pkgadd command. On Solaris 11, the API is only installed in the zone where this command is run.
Use the following command to install the Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive client:
```
pkgadd -n -a ./tsmadmin -d ./TIVsmCba.pkg TIVsmCba
```
Note: On Solaris 10, this command installs the backup-archive client components in the global zone and in all running non-global zones. If you want to install them in the global zone only, use the -G parameter of the pkgadd command. On Solaris 11, the client components must are only installed in the zone where this command is run.

Results

Important: For a Solaris 10 sparse root non-global zone, the /usr file system is normally mounted as read-only (LOFS) from the global zone, and the following conditions apply:

If Tivoli Storage Manager is not installed in the global zone, a warning message appears at the end of the installation. The message asks the global administrator to create the required links that are provided as part of the warning messages.
If Tivoli Storage Manager is already installed in the global zone, creation of these links is not necessary. The links are already present and they are pointing to the correct executable files and libraries.
