Installing IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) Client (V 6.2.1) on Linux Ubuntu 32-bit (i386)

Installing IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) Client (V 6.2.1)

on Linux Ubuntu 32-bit (i386)

Step 1

Download the Installation files (in our case it is CZGL9MLtar.gz)

Step 2:

We need to install an additional package for this version i.e., libstdc++5. This package contains an additional runtime library for C++ programs built with the GNU compiler.

#apt-get install ksh libstdc++5

Step 3

Gunzip and tar the downloaded file. Make sure you have root privileges.

root@ABCXYZ:~#pwd

/root

#chmod 777 CZGL9ML.tar.gz

#gunzip CZGL9ML.tar.gz

#tar -xvf /home/rizvi/CZGL9ML.tar

#cd TSMCLI_LNX/tsmcli/linux86/

Here you would see rpm files.

Step 4

Now we will unpack rpm files. For this we need alien package installed. If not then (#apt-get install alien)

#alien –g TIVsm-API.i386.rpm

#alien –g TIVsm-BA.i386.rpm

#alien -g gskcrypt32-8.0.13.3.linux.x86.rpm

 #alien -g gskssl32-8.0.13.3.linux.x86.rpm

Step 5

Now we will change directory name. This is an issue which comes when building .deb package

#mv TIVsm-API-6.2.1/debian/ TIVsm-API-6.2.1/DEBIAN

#mv TIVsm-BA-6.2.1/debian/ TIVsm-BA-6.2.1/DEBIAN

#mv gskcrypt32-8.0/debian/ gskcrypt32-8.0/DEBIAN

#mv gskssl32-8.0/debian/ gskssl32-8.0/DEBIAN

Step 6

Now, we will edit the control files as shown below. You should leave a blank line in end of file.

#nano /root/TSMCLI_LNX/tsmcli/linux86/TIVsm-API-6.2.1/DEBIAN/control

| Source: tivsm-api

| Section: alien

| Priority: extra

| Maintainer: RIZVI

| Package: tivsm-api

| Architecture: i386

| Depends:

| Description: the API IBM Tivoli Storage Manager API

| Version: 6.2.1

|

#nano /root/TSMCLI_LNX/tsmcli/linux86/TIVsm-BA-6.2.1/DEBIAN/control

| Architecture: i386

| Depends:

| Version: 6.2.1

|

#nano /root/TSMCLI_LNX/tsmcli/linux86/gskcrypt32-8.0/DEBIAN/control

| Source: gskcrypt32

| Section: alien

| Priority: extra

| Maintainer: RIZVI

| Package: gskcrypt32

| Architecture: i386

| Depends:

| Package: gskssl32

| Architecture: i386

| Depends:

| Description: IBM GSKit SSL Runtime With Acme Toolkit

| Version: 8.0

|

Step 7

Now we will create .deb packages for installation .Do not care about warnings.

#dpkg -b TIVsm-API-6.2.1

#dpkg -b TIVsm-BA-6.2.1

# dpkg -b gskcrypt32-8.0

#dpkg -b gskssl32-8.0

Step 8

Now we will install the  .deb  packages that we have just created.

#dpkg -i TIVsm-API-6.2.1.deb

#dpkg -i TIVsm-BA-6.2.1.deb

#dpkg -i gskcrypt32-8.0.deb

#dpkg -i gskssl32-8.0.deb

Step 9

Now we will add the symbolic link for shared libraries. We will create a file (e.g., tivoli.conf) in directory of /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ and add the path of library files and link the directory path as follows.

#nano /etc/ld.so.conf.d/tivoli.conf

Add following lines in this file

# TSM Server Backup agent library files

/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin/

/usr/local/ibm/gsk8/lib

-Save and Exit

#ldconfig

#ln -s /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/lang/EN_US

Step 10

Create/modify TSM configuration files
#nano /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsm.opt
| ServerName TSMServer
– Save and Exit
#nano /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsm.sys
| ServerName TSMServer
| CommMethod TCPip
| TcpPort 1500
| TcpServerAddress 10.77.77.77
| NodeName NETSYSLOG
| PasswordAccess generate
| Compression On
– Save and Exit

Step 11

You are DONE with TSM Client Installation!!! Execute following command.

#dsmc

On successful execution of following, you would see screen like shown below:

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager

Command Line Backup-Archive Client Interface

  Client Version 6, Release 2, Level 1.0 

  Client date/time: 09/27/2011 15:25:09

tsm>  exit

Now execute dsmcad command

#dsmcad

Step 12

Now you can accesses the Tivoli Storage Manager Back Achieve Client by entering following link in URL http://10.77.77.77:1581
