export DSMI_CONFIG=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin/dsm.opt export DSMI_DIR=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin

export DSMI_LOG=/home/user_a/logdir

Note: The quickest method to set the environment variables is to add these variables to the user’s .profile file.

b.Edit an existing stanza or create a new stanza in the dsm.sys file to specify the communications options between the Tivoli Storage Manager API and server. For example:

SErvername tsmsrver

COMMmethod TCPip

enablelanfree yes LANFREECommmethod TCPIP LANFREETCPServeraddress test.xyz.company.com

LANFREETCPPort 1500

TCPPort1502

TCPServeraddress tsmsrver.tucson.ibm.com

Note: A TCPPORT of 1502 is used in the examples; however, the default TCPPORT is 1500.

If a dsm.sys file does not exist in the directory specified by DSMI_DIR, create a symbolic link to the dsm.sys file in the Tivoli Storage Manager client installation directory. For example:

ln -s /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsm.sys /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin/dsm.sys

Install and Configure the Storage Agent

Note: To reduce workload and processing time and to optimize LAN-free performance, do not install the storage agent and the Tivoli Storage Manager server on the same machine.

On the same system as the client, install the storage agent. The default installation directory is /usr/tivoli/tsm/StorageAgent/bin. The instructions in this section are shown using the Software Management and Installation Tool (SMIT). You can also use the Install and Update Software Manager (installm).

Note: Throughout this procedure, /dev/cd0 is used for CD-ROM. This may be different in your environment. Loading the storage agent files can take several minutes.

1.Be sure you have the information recorded on the forms in “Configuration Information Worksheets” on page 13. This information is required in this procedure.

2.Log in as the root user.

3.Load the storage agent CD into the selected drive.

4.From your desktop window, access SMIT and make selections according to the level of your AIX operating system.

Enter:

smit install_update &

Select:

Install Software
