Hi Ryan
We use FileWave to push TSM client packages to Mac clients.
There might be some issues having the cad service start properly : using
static ip or static lease may work it around.
Cheers.
Norman

Re: [ADSM-L] Installing TSM client on MAC desktops






Thanks....I guess what I was looking for was what software management
tools have others used with MAC clients?

I guess there are few things to do:

- install the software (should not be that hard)
- push a valid /Library/Preferences/Tivoli Storage Manager/dsm.sys and
dsm.opt
- get the client to authenticate once to effectively 'passwordaccess
generate'
- start the dsmcad

I guess that 1, 2 and 4 should be feasible with some default software
management tool, 3 might be harder... How do people solve this on wintel
or UNIX?
