 If you are behind a firewall you should set the option webports to specific values and forward those ports on your firewall for the TSM server to be able to reach you.

+=== Debugging ===
+On older RedHat based systems you may get some errors while updating, e.g.
+<code>
+error: Failed dependencies:
+        libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.14)(64bit) is needed by TIVsm-API64-8.1.20-0.x86_64

+You have to update glibc to minimum version v2.14 AND libstdc (GLIBCXX) to minimum version v3.4.15.
+Beginning with IBM Spectrum Protect backup-archive client level 8.1.19, the operating system RHEL 6 and SLES 11 are no longer supported, as stated here: \\ [[https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/IT44180]]
+However, you can manually update the required libraries. This is not a clean way of updating, but tested working in several machines running CentOS 6:
+<code bash>
+cd /tmp/TSMinstall
+mkdir glibc; cd glibc
+# Check installed version(s) of glibc
+ldconfig  -p | grep libc.so
+strings /lib64/libc.so.6 | grep GLIBC
+# Download glibc v2.17 libraries compiled to work for CentOS 6 Systems
