4. The following files are unpacked:
– The installation package and executable
– The readme file that describes the package
– A subdirectory SM10R2MIB that contains the MIB files
Note: This MIB file will only work with the IBM DS4000/DS5000 TotalStorage Storage
Manager.
5. The file SMIA-LINUX-10.70.A5.08.bin is the installer that contains the installation files. To
be able to execute this installer, you need to type sh before the file or change the file
permissions to be able to execute.
6. By default, the installer requires a graphical console to launch, but can be also installed on
a text console or left unattended.
Execute this file with the option -? to display the help on the available options to install
Storage Manager.
The options are:
– swing: A GUI installation that allows you to select the language of the license
agreement. Note that only the license agreement is displayed in the selected language;
the installation itself always uses English.
– console: Use a text based console for the installation.
– silent: Perform an unattended installation.
7. Choose which method you want to use, and launch the installation file, specifying your
option with the -i parameter. For example:
$sh SMIA-LINUX-10.70.A5.08.bin -i console

graphical console (KDE, CDE, Gnome, etc).
2. Start the installer that was extracted in step 3 on page 142 in a terminal window by
running:
sh SMIA-LINUX-10.70.A5.08.bin
3. A window will be open. Select the language to display the license agreement and click on

Note: The installation will always be performed in English.
