2. Verify there is enough space available in the /usr (615MB), /opt (450MB), /var (31MB) and
/tmp(1GB) directories to perform this installation. It is possible to set the IATEMPDIR
environment variable to change the temporary directory to extract the files on a disk
partition with enough free disk space instead of using /tmp.
To set the variable enter one of the following commands at the UNIX command line prompt
before running this installer again:
- for Bourne shell (sh), ksh, bash and zsh:
$ IATEMPDIR=/your/free/space/directory
$ export IATEMPDIR
- for C shell (csh) and tcsh:
$ setenv IATEMPDIR /your/free/space/directory
3. Extract the file to a local directory, as shown in Example 5-1 on page 142.
Example 5-10 Extract package archive
# gzip -d SM10.70_Aix_SMIA-10.70.xx.08.tgz
# tar -xvf SM10.70_Aix_SMIA-10.70.xx.08.tar
x Aix10p70/Aix
x Aix10p70/Aix/SMIA-AIX-10.70.65.08.bin, 707704559 bytes, 1382236 tape blocks
x Aix10p70/SM10R2MIB
x Aix10p70/SM10R2MIB/SM10_R2.MIB, 5298 bytes, 11 tape blocks
x Aix10p70/SM10R2MIB/README_First.txt, 126 bytes, 1 tape blocks
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
5. The file SMIA-AIX-10.70.65.08.bin is the installer that contains the installation files. To be
able to execute this installer, you need to write 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.
Note: The setting of this variable ONLY change the temporary location where the IBM
Storage Manager will extract the files for the installation.
Note: This MIB file will only work with the IBM DS4000/DS5000 TotalStorage Storage
Manager.
