1. beastie is the hostname of the local system
2. rafal is the hostname of the repository system hosting the necessary packages in the depot
3. moliere is the hostname of the TSM backup server

Be sure to obtain the sam(1m) display:

# DISPLAY=beastie:0
# export DISPLAY

Check if the os level and product version agreed on the same specifications, and that there is sufficient disk space to install the TSM client components:

# uname -a
# model
# bdf /opt
# vgdisplay vg00
# swlist | grep OnLineJFS

Launch the System Administration Manager (see the sam(1) manual page for more information) and follow these steps:

# sam&
/*
 * Software Management
 *  Install Software to Local Host
 *   Source Depot Type: Network Directory/CDROM
 *   Source Host Name... rafal
 *   Source Depot Path... /var/spool/sw/1100
 *    select "TIVsm   5.2.2   Tivoli Storage Manager Client"
 */

Configure the new tool:

# cd /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin
# cp dsm.sys.smp dsm.sys
# cp dsm.opt.smp dsm.opt
# nslookup moliere   /* Check that the backup server is available. */
# vi dsm.opt
# vi dsm.sys         /* Modify the `nodename' accordingly. */
# vi inclexcl.excl   /* Adapt the content following the recommendation from
                        the storage/backup team. */
# dsmc q ses         /* Tune the TSM Server Connection Information following
                        the recommendation from the storage/backup team. */

Launch the TSM scheduler at run-level #3:

# cat << EOF > /sbin/init.d/tsmsched
#!/bin/sh 

killproc() {            # kill the named process(es)
        pid=`/usr/bin/ps -ef|
             /usr/bin/grep '[d]smc sched' |
             awk '{ print $2 }'`
        if [ "$pid" != "" ];
        then
                kill $pid
                sleep 5
                kill -0 $pid
                [ $? -ne 0 ] && kill -9 $pid
        fi
}

startproc() {
        if [ -f /usr/bin/dsmc ]; then
                (/usr/bin/nohup /usr/bin/dsmc sched &) >/dev/null 2>&1
                echo  "dsmc

        fi
}
