3.1 Software installation
We assume that you have read and understood the IBM Redbook, IBM Tivoli
Storage Management Concepts, SG24-4877, as well as the previous chapters.
You should also use the instructions in the associated Quick Start manual for
your chosen Tivoli Storage Manager server platform to install the Tivoli Storage
Manager code. The Quick Start manual is shipped with the install media. The
latest version of this manual is also available from the Tivoli Storage Manager
Web site in either HTML or PDF format. We recommend that you download the
manual to ensure that you are working with the latest information. The URL for
Tivoli Storage Manager publications is:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/index.jsp?toc=/com.ibm.i
tstorage.doc/toc.xml
Note: We highly recommend that you read the readme.1st file to see the
changes in the Tivoli Storage Manager version you are about to install, the
hardware and software prerequisites, and any additional installation steps that
might be needed.
3.2 Latest software updates
Tivoli Storage Manager server and client code fixes and enhancements are
released on a regular basis. The fixes are available from IBM via the Internet or
CD-ROM. Downloading from the Internet is preferable if your connection
supports it. Many fixes can be quite large, as they are full or near-full code
replacements. If you are unable to download from the Internet, you can order the
fixes through your usual IBM service channel.
The Tivoli Storage Manager support home page has links to the latest Tivoli
Storage Manager server fixes, Tivoli Data Protection for application fixes, Tivoli
Storage Manager client code, and important download information. It also
contains important FLASHES of late-breaking product news, which may affect
your implementation. You may subscribe to updates via RSS, or regularly visit
the Web site:
http://www.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/IBMTivoliStorageManager.html
This link will take you to the FTP server:
ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance/
If you have downloaded many fixes you may find it more convenient to go directly
to the FTP site and navigate through the directories to quickly find the latest
fixes.
