System Requirements

 

To use LAN-free data movement, configure the following components at the latest

 

available software levels.

 

v

Your SAN configuration must meet the applicable hardware and software

 

 

requirements (see www.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/

 

 

support/IBMTivoliStorageManager.html).

 

v TCP/IP is required for communication among the Tivoli Storage Manager server,

 

 

the client, and the storage agent.

v

An IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server that has a license for LAN-free

 

operations (Version 5.4 or later). To ensure compatibility between the server and

 

 

the storage agent, check the Tivoli Web site at www.ibm.com/software/

 

 

sysmgmt/products/

 

 

support/IBMTivoliStorageManager.html for maintenance level requirements and

 

 

download the latest Fix Pack Level. The Tivoli Storage Manager servers for the

 

 

z/OS, OS/390, AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Sun Solaris, and Windows operating systems

 

 

support LAN-free data movement. Note that the Tivoli Storage Manager server

 

 

supports storage agents at the same version, release, and modification level, plus

 

up to two modification levels earlier. Suppose in the future IBM released Version

 

5.4.3 of the Tivoli Storage Manager server. It would support storage agents at the

 

Version 5.4.3, Version 5.4.2, and Version 5.4.1 levels. Note that this Tivoli Storage

 

Manager Version 5.4.3 server example is an example only and is neither a

 

promise nor guarantee that such a version will be released. This compatibility is

 

 

subject to change at IBM’s discretion. Review the readme for a given server level

 

for the latest information related to compatibility. Tivoli Storage Manager

 

Version 5.4.0 servers will also support Version 5.3.4 and Version 5.3.5 storage

 

agents.

v

In order for storage agents to access volumes from a storage pool that utilizes

 

3592 generation 2 drive encryption, both the storage agent and its server must

 

be at a level that supports drive encryption (Version 5.3.4.0 or higher).

 

v A Tivoli Storage Manager client or a Tivoli Storage Manager data protection

 

 

application client. Client software must be installed on a client system (check

 

 

www.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/

 

 

support/IBMTivoliStorageManager.html for the clients that are currently

 

supporting LAN-free data movement). File library sharing support requires that

 

the storage agent be at the 5.4 level.

 

v When using the Tivoli Storage Manager application programming interface (API)

 

 

or the application client, the API software must be at version 5.2 or higher. You

 

 

can obtain the API by downloading the latest version of the backup-archive

 

 

client for AIX from the Web site at www.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/

 

 

support/IBMTivoliStorageManager.html.

v

If you are sharing disk storage, Tivoli SANergy or IBM TotalStorage SAN File

 

System must be installed. Tivoli SANergy version 3.2.13 is included with the

 

storage agent media. Note that the use of the Tivoli SANergy components

 

 

included with the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Storage Area Networks

 

 

product is limited to use to enable LAN-free backup and restore to disk in

 

 

conjunction with your licensed use of the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for

 

Storage Area Networks product. For current information about supported

 

file-sharing software, see www.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/

 

support/IBMTivoliStorageManager.html.

 

Note: If you are sharing only tape devices, file-sharing software is not required.
