Don't know anything about TSM-clients but I'm swedish so here is a translation of the important part.
----- I've fought with the TSM-client on OpenBSD 3.7 and it's starts but I have done any backups yet. There is a little problem with dependencies but I did the following: Installed the RedHat-library from OpenBSD packages. symlinked /usr/local/emul/redhat to /emul/linux Got the latest RPM version from Slackware 10.1 and unpacked it in /usr/local/emul/redhat/ Runned /usr/local/emul/redhat/bin/rpm -initdb Had a little problem to get the latest TSM-client running because it needed libgpfs.so et cetera for Linux and I didn't succed in finding any GPFS-dist to download. Instead I tried the following client: ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance/client/v4r2/Linux \ 86/v423/ Unpacked the tar in a temp-folder and there was a TSM-client which didn't need GPFS. Installed the TSM-client with rpm -i --nodeps --ignoreos .... It gets way down in under /opt/tivoli/..... Created a config file under the clients bin-folder and the client start with the command dsmc, more then that I havn't tried. ----- -- Sebastian A. Liem <> www.liem.se
