1. Introduction: Prerequisites & Obtaining the Software

This document contains installation instructions for the TSM version 6.2 client for Solaris on SPARC and x86. IBM supports this client to run on Solaris 10. It should not be installed on older versions (TSM 5.5 is still available for installing on Solaris 9). Note that OUCS no longer have any SPARC based machines available for TSM testing so although we can offer general support on use and configuration we may not be able to help with Solaris specific matters.

The current TSM client software is Version 6, Release 2, Level 2.0.

The Backup/Archive client requires the following software in order to run:

• Sun Solaris 10 32bit or 64bit kernel mode
• Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5 or 6 to run the TSM GUI dsmj

You will also need a standard 10Mb (or faster) network connection to the University network or a connection to the Oxford eduroam wireless network (please see the wireless trial for more details). The HFS only supports VPN-based backup for systems registered as part of the VPN Backup Service trial.
