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.
About this task
You must install the
client management service on the same
computer as the backup-archive client.
Procedure
- 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 |
- Create a directory on the client
system that you want to manage, and copy the installation package
there.
- Extract the contents of the installation
package file.
- On Linux client systems,
complete the following steps:
- Change the file to an executable file by issuing the following command:
chmod +x 8.1.x.000-IBM-SPCMS-Linuxx64.bin
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
