David, I didn't try TSM on an ESX server yet. But the installation fails because no korn shell (ksh) is found on the ESX server.
Just install an rpm with the ksh on the ESX server prior to installing the TSM API. And see if it works then. There are also a few tech documents on the TSM support site that might be worth reading: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&uid=swg21175860 http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&uid=swg21199155 best regards, Kurt > -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- > Van: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens David > Browne > Verzonden: maandag 27 augustus 2007 21:02 > Aan: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU > Onderwerp: [ADSM-L] TSM install on ESX Linux help? > > I have very little Linux knowledge.
