This listserv may not be the best source of information for Framework related issues as its primary focus is Distributed NetView.
To get you started, you should be referring to the Tivoli Enterprise Installation Guide, Version 3.7, page 3-12, "Installing on a UNIX System" if you intent is to install a TMR Server. The installation will include the installion of the "Tivoli Desktop" which is the GUI from which you administer your TMR region and also from where you would install Framework based applications and patches. You need to be root to perform the installation which is indicated on page 3-12.
You have also asked a bunch of questions I've never heard of or needed to deal with with the TMR Servers I have installed. So can't help you there is that info happens to be important for you. Regarding RIM, you do need to know a lot about your RDBMS and its access and it would probably help a lot if you were the DBA.

Subject: [nv-l] Installation of Framework and Tec Net
|
Gentlemen;
I have been requested to install the Tivoli Tec Net application on a single TMR server which has been preloaded with AIX 5.1 and Sybase. I am having a bit of problem, after reviewing all the Installation Manuals and Release notes, I am absolutely no further along in understanding the step by step for loading and installing the Framework 3.7B, 3.7.1 application. (Not that I am an expert on AIX; however, USL Sys 5 Ver 4.2 is not very different and between that and HPUX 10.01 I have about 10 years experience as Sys Admin, off and on.)
What I do not see is the details for loading FrameWork applications into the AIX server. Do I use package add or is there a different interface for installing the application. What permissions must I have can I simply be a member of staff or do I need to be root? In order to tie the Framework into the Database through RIM do I need to also be the DBA for the Sybase database? What init level should the machine be at on the installation, should it be in single user mode, multi-user mode or Networked Multi-User (Init 1, 2 or 3). What are the device names that I should use to address the applications, can I simply use cd0 or do I need to perform the task from a CLI and use something like /dev/dsk/c0t0b0Io and cpio the files to /tmp? Or are the files in tar and I need to copy the TAR to /tmp?
Will this help you to understand the quandary I have found my self with? I have searched the web for the last two days trying to locate any references in the Unix User groups trying to find if there is a special application interface. I do not even know if you are using GNU or z.compress in relation to the data I need work with. A nice little step by step, where I select my installation configuration and you build the scripts I need to follow would be very helpful.
Thank You,
