Christian, thanks for the explanations! I followed the directions from the forum and it worked flawlessly.
Timo: I tried to follow the instructions from the Wiki site and I couldn't get it working. I produced the debs, but wouldn't install: r...@xxxxx:/usr/local/src/Backup_client/5.5.1# dpkg -i TIVsm-API-5.5.1.deb (Reading database ... 227408 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace tivsm-api 5.5.1 (using TIVsm-API-5.5.1.deb) ... Unpacking replacement tivsm-api ... dpkg: error processing TIVsm-API-5.5.1.deb (--install): package control info rmdir of `tivsm-api' didn't say not a dir: Directory not empty Errors were encountered while processing: TIVsm-API-5.5.1.deb It could be that I didn't interpret the germal instructions properly. -- Warm regards, Michael Green On Mon, Apr 6, 2009 at 11:52 AM, Christian Svensson <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Mike, > ISC/AC is the new Web GUI for TSM Server. > > To understand why it doesn't work is a long story, I'll try to explain it > very short. > But the reason behind why you can't convert the TSM BA/API package is because > the control file in the RPM that says the package is a 32-bits version.
