Re: [ADSM-L] tsm administration via web

Great, thanks!

I got the 7.1 package server and TOC to install a while back on a 6G RAM Centos 
laptop for basic testing.  
Didn't try using it as a TOC hub, and haven't tried with the 7.1.1 package.
YMMV.

Hi Wanda,

It's in the Installtion Guide (TSM 7.1.1) :

On test servers only: Use the following command to bypass prerequisite checks 
such as the operating system and the required memory. Do not issue this command 
on a production server.

For new installations, issue the following command:
./install.sh -g -vmargs "-DBYPASS_TSM_REQ_CHECKS=true"

Otherwise, update the following file to add the -DBYPASS_TSM_REQ_CHECKS=true 
flag. The dash in the -DBYPASS_TSM_REQ_CHECKS=true flag is required and must be 
added on a new line after the -vmargs flag.
../Installation Manager/eclipse/ibmim.ini
