Overview

Tivoli Storage Management (TSM) is enterprise level software that provides a data backup and restoration service for departmental servers. The following instructions provide a step-by-step guide to installing TSM 5.1.6 on a IRIX system.

Instructions

1. A member of the Enterprise Recovery Group needs to add your system, hereafter called node, to the server using the administrator GUI, and then add the node to the appropriate schedule.

2. If a previous version of ADSM or TSM has been installed, copy the dsm.opt , dsm.sys and the inclexcl.dsm files to your desktop. Stop the scheduler service and then remove the program by using the Software Manager (swmgr).

3. As root , run the following commands (this creates a temporary directory to store the installation files): 

mkdir  /tmp/tsm;  cd  /tmp/tsm

4. Use a web browser to access this web site: https://its2.unc.edu/esm/backup/TSM_Clients/IRIX/. You will need to authenticate using your Onyen and Onyen password.

5. Select the most recent version of the IRIX TSM client, and download the README file and tar file to /tmp/tsm .

6. Review the README files for the latest news and APAR's for this client.

7. As root , run the following command: 

tar  xvf  IP22549.tar

8. To install all parts:

/usr/sbin/inst  -A  -f  /tmp/tsm

or

use the Software Manager (swmgr) to install selectively.

The default installation directory is /usr/tivoli/tsm/client , with the backup client files mainly residing in the ~/ba/bin subdirectory.

9. Access the previous URL in step 4 and copy the dsm.opt and dsm.sys files to /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin . Also, copy the inclexcl.dsm file to /etc . Or you may edit the files you saved to your desktop in step 2.

10. Modify the dsm.opt , dsm.sys and inclexcl.dsm files customizing each for your system.

11. Copy the /etc/inclexcl.dsm file. Add or subtract exclude lines as appropriate to the new system.

12. Type the command dsm . If it comes back with a TCP/IP communication failure, just hit okay and retype dsm . At the prompt type the password, then exit and retype dsm . If it doesn't ask for a password, the client is installed correctly.

13. To install the client scheduler, copy the following line to the /etc/inittab file: 

ad:234:respawn:/usr/bin/dsmc  sched  >dev/null  2>&1

14. Then run the following command from the /etc directory: 

./telinit  q

This will cause the program to rerun its inittab and start a client schedule daemon. To verify the daemon is running, run the command: 

ps  -ef  |  grep  dsm

To verify the client scheduler log is working run the following command:

more  /var/adm/dsmsched.log

15. The day after any significant change to your client (TSM client or server software update, client operating system or hardware upgrade, etc.), check the results of the dsmsched.log file. If you have any errors, contact the TSM administrator. Otherwise, daily monitoring of your client is handled by our automated systems, which will alert you by email only if problems occur.
