Installing the client management service by using a graphical wizard

To collect diagnostic information about backup-archive clients such as client log files, you must install the client management service on the client systems that you manage.

1. Download the installation package for the client management service from an IBM® download site such as IBM Passport Advantage® or IBM Fix Central. Look for a file name that is similar to <version>-IBM-SPCMS-<operating system>.bin.

   The following table shows the names of the installation packages.

   Client operating system	Installation package name
   Linux® x86 64-bit	8.1.x.000-IBM-SPCMS-Linuxx64.bin
   Windows 32-bit	8.1.x.000-IBM-SPCMS-Windows32.exe
   Windows 64-bit	8.1.x.000-IBM-SPCMS-Windows64.exe

2. Create a directory on the client system that you want to manage, and copy the installation package there.
3. Extract the contents of the installation package file.
   • On Linux client systems, complete the following steps:
     1. Change the file to an executable file by issuing the following command:

        chmod +x 8.1.x.000-IBM-SPCMS-Linuxx64.bin

     2. Issue the following command:

        ./8.1.x.000-IBM-SPCMS-Linuxx64.bin

   • On Windows client systems, double-click the installation package name in Windows Explorer.
   Tip: If you previously installed and uninstalled the package, select All when prompted to replace the existing installation files.
4. Run the installation batch file from the directory where you extracted the installation files and associated files. This is the directory that you created in step 2.
   • On Linux client systems, issue the following command:

     ./install.sh

   • On Windows client systems, double-click install.bat.
5. To install the client management service, follow the instructions in the IBM Installation Manager wizard.

   If IBM Installation Manager is not already installed on the client system, you must select both IBM Installation Manager and IBM Spectrum Protect Client Management Services.

   Tip: You can accept the default locations for the shared resources directory and the installation directory for IBM Installation Manager.
