TSM Client

Must be installed on each system which will be a client or backup media server. A
Client license for the local (administrator) system is included with the TSM Edition
license.

This client must be managed by a TSM Admin system. No license key is required on
the client since the number of supported clients and backup servers are defined by
the TSM Edition license. Backup management features, such as scheduling and
history reporting are provided only by the TSM Edition.

Backup Data
Encryption
Feature

This optional license may be added to a TSM Edition license to enable AES data
encryption support for all backups. A license is purchased for the number of Clients
for which backup data should be encrypted.


Other administrator license editions for Network, and Workstation are also available, which provide backups to
local and remote (Network Edition) disk and tape devices. Those editions also support multiple backup types,
from files and directories to volume groups and raw logical volumes. Since this TSM Edition supports only

Full

System Backups and TSM Servers as backup media, all other administrator licenses are documented in a
separate user guide. Refer to the

System Backup Administrator User Guide

for details.

Evaluation License Key

All license options and features above, except the TSM Client require a license key. The license keys are
installed only onto the TSM Admin system, and must be obtained from Storix. For all licensed options, the
user may type the word “

Software Installation and Configuration

The following instructions may be used to install the software from either installation images downloaded from
the Storix Software web site (

http://www.storix.com

) or from a SBAdmin installation CDROM:

Downloading and Installing from the Web Site

1. Select the software package you wish to download from the web site based on your operating system

type, machine type and desired software configuration.

Be sure to download the file in BINARY. Some browsers will recognize the
".tar" extension of the file and ask you if it should open the file or expand it.
You should NOT do so, but select to save it to disk instead.

2. Change to the /tmp directory:


cd /tmp

3.

Extract the contents of the file. Note that this does not extract the software, but only the installation

program files and install image:

tar -xvf IMAGEFILE.tar

(where IMAGEFILE.tar is the name of the downloaded file)

4.

Run the installation program by typing:


./stinstall
