TSM Solaris Client Install Instructions

Solaris 10 Instructions for TSM Version 5.5.2.2

  1. CIT's distribution is available in /src/local/TSM, follow the instructions at https://ubfs.buffalo.edu/ubfs/collab/cit/tks_public/TSM/UnixInstall.shtml using what is there. In particular do unpack it in /tmp and run it from there because their tsmconf script tries to move files into place from where you run it so it's a little "destructive".
  2. Despite saying you would need client name, server name, etc. the script didn't ask for anything related to that and seemed to not properly set up the configuration files. Just steal those from an existing server. The files live in /etc/tsm, see the versions on sol.cse.buffalo.edu.
