Hello list, I thought i'd pass along my notes on installing Tivoli backup on s390. It wasn't just install and go, but it does work. .karl -- Install notes for Tivoli Backup Client version 4.2.2.1 under Redhat 7.2 s390 (31 bit) Linux kschlitt at uneb.edu July 26 2002 get the rpms from: http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/clients.html#linux390 and put them in the root directory, /TIVsm-API.s390.rpm /TIVsm-BA.E2ACL.s390.rpm /TIVsm-BA.s390.rpm These rpm's will not install due to a dependence on libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3. unpack them with: rpm2cpio < TIVsm-BA.s390.rpm | cpio -i --make-directories This will create /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/* hierarchy. The binaries therein will decline to run due to the libstdc++ problem. To get around this, create a symbolic link: ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 \ /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 Copy /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsm.sys.smp to /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsm.sys and /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsm.opt.smp to /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsm.opt Get permissions and ownership right, we don't want just anyone restoring system files, etc. chown root.root /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc chown root.root /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsm.opt chown root.root /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsm.sys chmod 600 /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsm.opt chmod 600 /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsm.opt chmod 700 /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc Configure dsm.opt and dsm.sys as per your ADSM admin's instructions. Unless there are network issues,(ie VM not doing proxy-arp,) you should be good to go. Pick one of the following if you want to run it automagicly. to /etc/rc.d/rc.local append: nohup /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc sched >/dev/null & to /etc/inittab append: adsm::once:/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc sched > /dev/null 2>&1 to /etc/crontab append: 01 2 * * * root /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc backup>/dev/null 2>&1 N.B. I have tested this in a non-production environment, with none-critical data. It backs up and restores, but your mileage may vary. I have not used client side compression, encryption or anything very fancy. I never could get the web GUI thing to work, i only used the CLI, dsmc. Server version was 4.1.4.0 on MVS.
