TO INSTALL TSM(IBM Tivoli) Client Agent in Redhat Linux 5 and Linux 6.

Answer

To install the client agent in the hosts

1- Confirm what version of TSM client is supported and/or compatible with the TSM backup server.

You can use the link below to check:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21053218


2- Tivoli TSM has provided also an internal link to download the TSM clients. Usually the client provides the installation package.

ftp://index.storsys.ibm.com/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance/client/v6r2/Linux/LinuxX86/

3- Staged the tar ball in both hosts under /nzscratch. The tar ball contains the TSM rpm packages.

A- Make a directory in both hosts

mkdir /nzscratch/Tivoli

B- Copy the tar ball to the /nzscratch/Tivoli directory

cp <tar_ball> /nzscratch/Tivoli

C- Change to the directory

cd /nzscratch/Tivoli

tar -xvf <tar_ball>

D- The installation process steps are below and must be done in both hosts. Optional steps can be skipped.


1. Install the 64-bit GSKit packages. In this example, the "8.x.x.x" characters represent the GSKIT version on the DVD:
rpm -U gskcrypt64-8.x.x.x.linux.x86_64.rpm gskssl64-8.x.x.x.linux.x86_64.rpm
2. Install the 64-bit Tivoli Storage Manager API, and optionally install the common inventory technology package needed to support processor value unit (PVU) calculations.
a. Required: install the Tivoli Storage Manager API:
rpm -i TIVsm-API64.x86_64.rpm
b. Optional: Install the common inventory technology package used by the API. This package is dependent on the API so it must be installed after the API package is installed.
rpm -i TIVsm-APIcit.x86_64.rpm

If you only need the API installed, you can stop here. The rest of the steps in this procedure describe how to install the Backup-Archive Client components and an optional client package that is needed only if you want the client to send PVU metrics to the server. Also described in subsequent steps are the installation of the packages that are needed if you want to perform journal-based backups, and the installation of additional languages.

3. Install the backup-archive Java™ client, command line client, administrative client, web client, and the documentation; optionally install the common inventory technology package needed to support processor value unit (PVU) calculations.
a. Install the backup-archive client components.
rpm -i TIVsm-BA.x86_64.rpm
b. Optional: install the common inventory technology package the client uses to send PVU metrics to the server. This package is dependent on the client package so it must be installed after the client package is installed.
rpm -i TIVsm-BAcit.x86_64.rpm
4. Optional: If you want to use journal-based backups, install the packages needed to support the filepath component and journal based backups. Install the filepath component first and ensure that you install the filepath package that is appropriate for the operating system on the client computer. Specify one of the following package names for the filepath package name:

• TIVsm-filepath-version-rhel55.x86_64.rpm, for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5.
• TIVsm-filepath-version-rhel60.x86_64.rpm, for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0
• TIVsm-filepath-version-sles10sp3.x86_64.rpm, for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, SP 3, default kernel.
• TIVsm-filepath-version-sles11sp1.x86_64.rpm, for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11, SP 1.

rpm -i TIVsm-filepath-version_vendor.x86_64.rpm TIVsm-JBB.x86_64.rpm

If none of these packages matches your Linux version, you must compile Filepath from source code. The Linux Filepath kernel module is licensed pursuant to the terms of the GNU General Public License ("GPL"). To request the Linux Filepath source code, send an email to tsmosreq@us.ibm.com.

Note: The filepath component that is distributed for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, SP3, is compiled for the default SLES kernel. If you have a multiprocessor system and use the SMP kernel, you need to compile filepath from the source.

5. Install the snapshot difference incremental backup support for NetApp and N-Series file servers by entering the following command:
rpm -i TIVsm-BAhdw.x86_64.rpm
6. The default language installed with the backup-archive client is American English. Use the general syntax shown in this step to install additional languages. Substitute the language identifier shown in the following table for the language_ID variable in the sample command:
rpm -i TIVsm-msg.language_ID.x86_64.rpm
