Aloha folks,
could I ask the list members to validate what I've done here? By way
of summary... I want to install IBM's Tivoli Storage Manager (latest
version being 5.5.x) into the Openfiler distribution. Being that IBM
distributes the client software in RPM format I had to do the
following...
# cd /
# rpm2cpio ~/TIVsm-API.i386.rpm | cpio -ivd
# rpm2cpio ~/TIVsm-BA.i386.rpm | cpio -ivd
I took the opportunity to dump both postinstall scriptlets from the
RPMs from another one of my Red Hat Enterprise Linux servers by...
# rpm -q --scripts -p ./TIVsm-API.i386.rpm > API.sh
# rpm -q --scripts -p ./TIVsm-BA.i386.rpm > BA.sh
The --scripts dump actually has two scriptlets, one for postinstall
and another for preuninstall. I used my text editor to remove the
later scriptlet and did a few other cleanups. Then I copied the
scriptlets to my openfiler and executed them. I also took the time
here to create and modify my dsm.sys and dsm.opt files accordingly.
The only thing left to do was resolve a dependency on libstdc++.so.5
(Red Hat calls this compat-libstdc++-33). I've never used conary
before, so please tell me if I've screwed this part up...
# conary update --keep-existing [EMAIL PROTECTED]:gcc33
And voila! I was able to execute the dsmc binary and begin my backups.
Thanks everybody,
John

Aloha,
Is there any way to install IBM's Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) --
which is RPM-based into Openfiler? Or for that matter the gcc so
that I could compile some other utilities I am familiar with? I
have loved Openfiler up to this point, but need to ensure that my
customer's files are restorable in the event that something
disastrous occurs.
Could one of you kind folk give me some direction?
Thank you,
John
