2. Prerequisites
The preferred method of installation is using the IT Services HFS software repositories. When doing this software prerequisites should be automatically installed. These include:
It is possible to run the command line application without having to have a Java runtime or X Window System installed.
The TSM software installs in /opt/tivoli and /usr/local/ibm.
It must be possible to create these directories (if they don't exist) and write into them.
You will also need a standard 100Mb/s (or faster) network connection to the University network or a connection to the Oxford eduroam wireless network (please see page on backing up over wireless for more details). The HFS only supports VPN-based backup for systems registered for VPN-based backup.
