alien -g TIVsm-BA.x86_64.rpm
alien -g gskcrypt64-8.0.14.14.linux.x86_64.rpm
alien -g gskssl64-8.0.14.14.linux.x86_64.rpm
##5 Remove a few files and rename a folder inside each of the packages
for DIRNAME in gskcrypt64-8.0 gskssl64-8.80 TIVsm-API64-6.4.0 TIVsm-BA-6.4.0
do
rm $DIR/debian/postinst $DIR/debian/compat

###7. Make .deb packages
dpkg -b gskcrypt64-8.0
dpkg -b gskssl64-8.0
dpkg -b TIVsm-API64-6.4.0
dpkg -b TIVsm-BA-6.4.0
###8. Install the tivoli distribution
sudo dpkg -i gskcrypt64-8.0.deb
sudo dpkg -i gskssl64-8.0.deb
sudo dpkg -i TIVsm-API64-6.4.0.deb
sudo dpkg -i TIVsm-BA-5.5.2.deb
###9. Create symbolic links to tell the loader where the files are located:
echo "/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/tsm.conf
echo "/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64" >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/tsm.conf
echo "/usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/lib64" >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/tsm.conf
run sudo ldconfig
###10. create /etc/ld.so.conf.d/tsm-api.conf with this one line:
echo "/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/tsm-api.conf
###11. create/modify TSM configuration files
/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsm.opt
ServerName TSMServer
Domain ALL-LOCAL
DateFormat 3
/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsm.sys
ServerName TSMServer
CommMethod TCPip
TcpPort 1500
TcpServerAddress tsmserver.your.domain.com
NodeName registered-name-for-this-system
PasswordAccess generate
Compression On
ErrorLogName /var/log/dsmerror.log
ErrorLogRetention 5 D
SchedLogName /var/log/dsmsched.log
SchedLogRetention 5 D
* InclExcl /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsm.inclexcl
set the TcpServerAddress to the fully qualified name of the TSM Server
set the NodeName to the node name as registered with the TSM Server
save and exit
###12. run an incremental backup
dsmc incremental
###13. create upstart script
vim /etc/init/dsm-sched.conf
[file contents below]
# This service starts the TSM "dsm sched" backup process
# and respawns it when the dsmc process gets
# killed or dies.
#Description “start the Tivoli Storage Manager scheduler”
start on runlevel 2
start on runlevel 3
start on runlevel 4
start on runlevel 5
stop on runlevel 0
stop on runlevel 1
stop on runlevel 6
respawn
#exec /usr/bin/dsmc sched >> /tmp/dsm-sched.log 2>&1
exec /usr/bin/dsmc sched > /dev/null 2>&1
# end of dsm-sched
###14. start the TSM scheduler
start dsm-sched
###15. verify the scheduler picked up its schedule tail
/var/log/dsmsched.log
You are done!
