Note that the storage agent honors the Tivoli Storage Manager server environment
variables DSMSERV_CONFIG and DSMSERV_DIR.
Install the storage agent on a client that has connections to the storage resources on
the SAN. The default installation directory is /usr/tivoli/tsm/StorageAgent/bin.
The instructions in this section are shown using the Software Management and
Installation Tool (SMIT). You can also use the Install and Update Software Manager
(installm).
Note: Throughout this procedure, /dev/cd0 is used for CD-ROM. This may be
different in your environment. Loading the storage agent files can take
several minutes.

Information Worksheets” on page 13. This information is required in this
procedure.
