The LTFS software application is an open-source tape file system
|
|
implemented on dual partition tape drives.
|
|
|
|
Further details on HPE's LTFS implementation can be found at

Installing on Linux systems
|
|
=======================================================================
|
|
1. The below mentioned dependencies are required by HPE SOS to run
|
|
on supported Linux systems. These dependencies can be either
|
|
installed from their RPM packages or can be installed by compiling
|
|
the source. The dependency packages are not supplied with HPE SOS;
|
|
users will need to download from their respective web sites and
|
|
install them.
|
|
|
|
a. FUSE 2.8.5 or higher (http://fuse.sourceforge.net/)
|
|
b. ICU v50.1.2 (http://site.icu-project.org/download)
|
|
c. libxml2 v2.7 or higher
|
|
d. e2fsprogs 1.41 or higher
|
|
|
|
2. Before starting to install and use HPE-SOS, you must ensure that the
|
|
FUSE kernel module is present and loaded.
|
|
|
|
To check, execute the following command:
|
|
lsmod | grep fuse
|
|
|
|
If the module is not currently loaded, you can load it as follows:
|
|
modprobe fuse
|
|
|
|
If the module is not present on your system, you must first obtain
|
|
and install it. Details of how to do this are beyond the scope of
|
|
this document; refer to http://fuse.sourceforge.net/ for further
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
3. Determine whether you want to use pre-compiled binaries or build
|
|
your own version of the LTFS application.
|
|
|
|
To build your own, download and unpack the file HPELTFS_SOURCE.tar.gz
|
|
then follow the instructions in ltfs/doc/BUILDING.linux
|
|
|
|
4. Download the file for your operating system platform:
|
|
|
|
(RHEL 6.x (x86 and x64) and RHEL 7.x (x64))
|
|
HPE-SOS_3.4.2_RHEL_x86_PKG.tar.gz (for x86 32-bit installations)
|
|
HPE-SOS_3.4.2_RHEL_x64_PKG.tar.gz (for x64 64-bit installations)
|
|
|
|
5. Unzip the package to extract the binaries for supported architectures:
|
|
For example:
|
|
tar -zxvf HPE-SOS_3.4.2_RHEL_x64_PKG.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
This will unpack the following files in the current directory:
|
|
a. hpe-sos-3.4.2-71.x86_64.rpm
|
|
b. INSTALLING.linux
|
|
c. COPYING.LIB
|
|
d. README
|
|
|
|
6. Install the hpe-sos-3.4.2-71.x86_64.rpm
|
|
For example:
|
|
rpm -ivh hpe-sos-3.4.2-71.x86_64.rpm
|
|
|
|
NOTE: If the dependencies are not yet installed, you can still install
|
|
HPE SOS using the command
|
|
rpm -ivh hpe-sos-3.4.2-71.x86_64.rpm --nodeps
|
|
|
|
The executables (ltfs, mkltfs, ltfsck, unltfs, ltfscopy) are placed in
|
|
/usr/local/bin/, a number of dynamic libraries in /usr/local/lib64/,
|
|
and also in a new subdirectory /usr/local/lib64/ltfs/
|
|
|
|
7. That's it! Refer to the README file for details of how
|
|
to use LTFS.
|
|
|
|
8. If at a later date you want to uninstall LTFS from your system, run
|
|
the command
|
|
rpm -e hpe-sos
|
