-!!1. Introduction
-
-
-ADSM is a network-based backup system, sold by IBM, in use at
-many organizations. There are clients for a large variety of systems
-(different UNIX brands, Windows, Novell, Mac, Windows NT).
-Unfortunately, at the time of this writing, there is no native Linux version.
-
-
-You will have to use the SCO binary, and install the iBCS2-emulator
-for running ADSM. This description is for ADSM v2r1.
-
-
-At the time if this writing, I am only aware of a version which works
-with the i386 version of Linux.
-----
-
-!!2. Installing the iBCS module
-
-
-The iBCS2 module is available from
-ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/BETA/ibcs2. If you are
-running kernel version 1.2.13, get
-ibcs-1.2-950721.tar.gz, unpac it and apply the patches
-ibcs-1.2-950808.patch1 and ibcs-1.2-950828.patch2.
-You can then type "make" and
-install the iBCS modlue with "insmod".
-
-
-For a 2.0 kernel version, get ibcs-2.-960610.tar.gz, unpack it
-in a suitable place, chdir into that directory,
-and apply the following patch:

-switch (command) {
-case U_SEMCTL:
-cmd = ibcs_sem_trans(arg3);
-- arg4 = (union semun *)get_syscall_parameter (regs, 4);
-+ arg4 = (union semun *)(((unsigned long *) regs->esp) + (5));
-is_p = (struct ibcs_semid_ds *)get_fs_long(arg4->buf);
-#ifdef IBCS_TRACE
-if ((ibcs_trace & TRACE_API) || ibcs_func_p->trace)
-
-Then, copy CONFIG.i386 to CONFIG, and type make.
-
-
-If you don't have them already, create the needed device files by
-executing
-
-# cd /dev
-# ln -s null XOR
-# ln -s null X0R
-# mknod socksys c 30
-# mknod spx c 30 1

-!!3. Installing the ADSM client
-
-
-The SCO binary is supplied as three tar files, or disks. Change to
-the root directory, set your umask according to your policies, and
-unpack them from there (as root). In your Directory /tmp, you will
-find an installation script; execute that.
-
-
-You will then have to hand-edit /usr/adsm/dsm.sys and
-/usr/adsm/dsm.opt.
-In dsm.sys, important lines to specify are:
-
-; __Servername__:
-
-The name of the server
-; __TCPServeraddress__:
-
-The fully qualified host name of the server
-; __NODename__:
-
-Your own hostname
-
-In dsm.opt, you will have to specify
-
-; __Server__:
-
-As before
-; __Followsymbolic__:
-
-Wether or not to follow symbolic links (not a good idea, in general)
-; __SUbdir__:
-
-Wether to back up subdirectories (you usually want that)
-; __domain__:
-
-The file systems to back up
-
-
-
-You will then have to create a SCO-compatible /etc/mnttab
-from your /etc/fstab. You can use the following Perl script,
-fstab2mnttab, for this.
-
-----
-
-#!/usr/bin/perl
-$mnttab_struct = "a32 a32 I L";
-open(MTAB, "/etc/mtab") || die "Cannot open /etc/mtab: $!\n";
-open(MNTTAB, ">/etc/mnttab") || die "Cannot open /etc/mnttab: $!\n";
-while(<MTAB>) {
-next if /pid/;
-chop;
-/^(\S*)\s(\S*)\s(\S*)\s.*$/;
-$device = $1;
-$mountpt = $2;
-$fstype = $3;
-if($fstype ne "nfs" && $fstype ne "proc") {
-$mnttab_rec =
-pack($mnttab_struct, $device, $mountpt, 0x9d2f, time());
-syswrite(MNTTAB, $mnttab_rec, 72);
-print "Made entry for: $device $mountpt $fstype\n";
-}
-}
-close(MNTTAB);
-exit ;
-
-----
-
-You do not need to install any shared libraries for these clients;
-everything is linked statically.
-----
-
-!!4. Running the client
-
-
-There are two clients, dsm, which is an X11 interface, and
-dsmc, a command-line interface. Your computer centre will tell
-you how to run it. Some startup script at boot, for example
-
-dsmc schedule -quiet 2>&1 >/dev/null &
-
-will probably be required.
-----
-
-!!5. Known Problems
-
-
-Unfortunately, SCO can only deal with hostnames no longer than eight
-characters. If your hostname is longer, or fully qualified, you may
-need to specify your hostname on the NODename line in
-/usr/adsm/dsm.sys.
-
-
-If you use the DISPLAY variable, you will have to supply the fully
-qualified host name (i.e. DISPLAY=host.full.do.main:0 instead of
-DISPLAY=host:).
