Re: Automating the client install on a PC?
>From the Windows Client 5.1.5.7 README.1ST:
- Installing a predefined (custom) DSM.OPT file:
- Users who would like to install a predefined DSM.OPT file should
place a
copy of the DSM.OPT file in the ...\CONFIG directory located within
the
install image:
- i.e. tsm_images\TSM_BA_Client\baclient\Program
Files\Tivoli\TSM\config.
The file must be named DSM.OPT.
- The install program will copy the predefined DSM.OPT file to the
..\BACLIENT directory when BOTH of the following conditions are met:
- DSM.OPT does NOT exist in the ..\BACLIENT directory. The install
program
will not copy over an existing DSM.OPT file.
- DSM.OPT exists in the install image's ..\CONFIG directory, as
described
above.

Subject:Automating the client install on a PC?
Hello,
I am trying to get the installation of TSM 5.1.5.2 to be totally
automated. THe silent install seems to be O.K. at putting all the files
on
the PC. However, we are still trying to get to a point where a person
does
not have to visit each PC to run through the CONFIGURATION process. Can
this be done? Is anyone doing it? How?
Second question:
If we have TSM client 5.1.0 on a PC and we want to upgrade it to 5.1.5.2
without having to visit the PC. If we do the uninstall and then the
silent
install we are left with the above problem. Can we just install 5.1.5.2
over the top of 5.1.0 to keep the configuration information?
Matt
Re: Automating the client install on a PC?
You can use Wise or SMS installed to automate your install. Every 6 months to a year we will upgrade and configure about 22,000 nt/2k machines 100% automatically. For new installs, you can even have the script self register to a TSM server and add itself into a schedule. There should be no reason why you can't just overwrite your current version of code with 5.1.5.2 unattended and without reboot. -T Tim Williams State Farm Insurance [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 22, 2003 7:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Automating the client install on a PC?

Hi Matt!
I got a customer who runing Wize.
And I don "% t like wize. But the customer his happy. So I don "% t care.
But the problem is that you need to know the hostname of the machine.
I have create a CMD script who need to start something like this
tsminst.cmd Nodename
And what it "% s doing is that.
He copy take out the name and create a line in DSM.OPT who says Nodename
nodename
Ex.
tsminst.cmd myserver
Add line nodename myserver to the dsm.opt file
And the cmd file look like this
--= Install Script =--
@echo off
rem Install and configure TSM Client Script
rem Ver 1.0
rem 22-01-2003
rem Made by Christian Svensson
rem Cristie Nordic AB
rem [EMAIL PROTECTED]
dsminst.exe -Silend commands (If you have anyone)
Echo nodename %1 > c:\node.txt
copy "c:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\BaClient\dsm.opt" "c:\Program
Files\Tivoli\TSM\BaClient\dsm.txt"
copy "c:\node.txt" + "c:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\BaClient\dsm.txt" "c:
\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\BaClient\dsm.opt"
del c:\node.txt
del "c:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\BaClient\dsm.txt"
--= Install Script =--
This is a open source and a freeware script. So do any changein you want
to.
But I "% m whery happy if you let my name and email be on the script you give
over to your customer
Good look. If you have any question about the script just send me a email.

Cristie,
Our standard DSM.OPT is
PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE
TCPSERVERADDRESS 162.133.57.252
schedlogr 7
errorlogr 7
backupr no
We control a lot with clientoption set. I am not sure what
you mean by the silent string. I do know that the people dealing with that
are using some product called !. wise !/ that they !. package !/ the install. They
say that that works fine. Their problem is doing the configuration after
it is done with the !. silent install !/ .
Matt

Hi Matt!
I think I got a script for you.
What I need to finish this script. I need your Standard DSM.OPT file and
the silend string for DSM installation.
And after that (later today) you got your installation script
