The --nodeps is needed because otherwise the installers is complaining about missing dependecies. Stef

Hi Michael, our Linux guru told me he was using alien (see: http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/alien/) to convert rpm to deb.

Michael, You can download a TSM client for debian at http://adsm.org/files/TSM/Clients/Linux/Debian/ Not supported of course but I'm using them without any issues on Ubuntu.

hello Michael, you have to enter: alien -i --scripts TIVsm-API.i386.rpm alien -i --scripts TIVsm-BA.i386.rpm you can ignore the error message postinstall .. regards Stefan Lehmann -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von Michael Green Gesendet: Mittwoch, 13.

I've been looking for such a beast as well. There is a document for Windows (http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21164812) but none for Linux. What we did to BMR a normal linux box is: * create a bootable linux CD (Knoppix) with a TSM client on it * boot from this cd * mount the disk drives * restore all filesystems with the TSM client * create all pseudo file systems not beeing backed up by TSM (/dev, /proc ...) on the restored disk drives * reboot HTH Thomas Rupp -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von David Browne Gesendet: Mittwoch, 13. Juni 2007 17:14 An: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Betreff: [ADSM-L] Restore Linux system from TSM I have a VMware virtual Linux server that had its DASD on an iSCSI device. There was a failure of the iSCSI NAS device and the virtual image files were lost. I have started over by creating a very basic out-of-the-box Linux server (i.e. no service pack, no add-ons, etc.) I was just wondering if there are any white papers or other documents to describe the best practices for doing a restore of a Linux server via TSM?
