Hi,

On my homelab, I personnaly install IIM first and then put the vmargs in the 
imcl.ini file (/opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools/imcl.ini).
The dash in -DBYPASS_TSM_REQ_CHECKS=true is required and the flag must be added 
on a new line after the -vmargs flag.

FYI.
If...

# install.sh -g -vmargs "-DBYPASS_TSM_REQ_CHECKS=true"

...doesn't help on CentOS 6/7 (and I think it won't for the
TSM versions after 7.1.3 or higher), here is why:


https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21990168&myns=swgtiv&mynp=OCSSSQWC&mync=E&cm_sp=swgtiv-_-OCSSSQWC-_-E


My solution was to make dummy packages (for CentOS 6 and 7) with the
exact following names:

redhat-release-server-6Server-6.8.0.5.el6.x86_64.rpm

redhat-release-server-7.2-7.2.9.el7.x86_64.rpm



So after installation of the dummy rpm on CentOS 6 or 7, the TSM check
returns the correct output:


centos6# rpm -qa --queryformat '%{RELEASE}\n' redhat-release* |grep \\.
6.8.0.5.el6

or

centos67# rpm -qa --queryformat '%{RELEASE}\n' redhat-release* |grep \\.
7.2.9.el7


Here are the spec files for creating the dummy rpms.

You can put anything in /usr/local/etc/redhat-release cause it's there
just to make the rpm non-empty, and the TSM only checks if the correct
rpm is installed.
