TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager) on Ubuntu 16.04

original packages

IBM packages can be found here:

• http://service.boulder.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance/client/v7r1/Linux/LinuxX86_DEB/BA/v714/

some patching required

Apparently, two symbols are now missing, these two patches helped me.

• hook.001.patch
• hook.002.patch

Obviously, these can be rolled into one patch (the #define should go inside the #if-block). Also, the kernel version number should be verified, however, it did the trick for me.

There are still warnings which might be important, but I did not check into that yet.

hook.001.patch

+#define f_dentry f_path.dentry /* formerly in <linux/fs.h> */

hook.002.patch

+# if ( LINUX_VERSION_CODE > KERNEL_VERSION(3,19,0) )
+#include <linux/fs_pin.h>
+#endif
+
 #include "jbb.h"

compilation

$ make
Makefile:8: *** RELNUM is required. Example: make RELNUM=7.1.1.0.  Stop.

This example is wrong. RELNUM has a different format (and version). This worked for me:

make RELNUM=7.1.4-0 deb

Notice the dash instead of the dot before the last digit. The installation failed with the wrong version number format and it took me awhile to spot the difference …

installation

Maybe I did something wrong, but it appears that the order of packages is important. The obvious dpkg invokation did not work:

dpkg -i *.deb

In the end, I installed each package individually in the order given in tivsm-helper.pl which can now be called as

./tivsm-helper.pl install
