The individual fix directories in general include files listed below. The names and
content of these files may vary slightly across platforms:
readme.ftp
This file contains the download and install instructions.
readme.1st
This file contains important information that is not yet available in manuals.
This includes information such as description of code fixes, enhancements,
limitations, and additions or corrections to the hardcopy publications.
Code images
These files contain the actual code fixes. You should download and unpack
these files exactly as instructed in the readme.ftp file.
If the fix is unavailable for download, or your environment is not suitable for
downloading large files, you can use the fix number to order the code on
CD-ROM from IBM support.
We recommend that you keep a copy of the latest server, agent, and client fix
files on a suitable file server (which could be the Tivoli Storage Manager server
itself) at your site. This allows easier distribution and code installation, especially
for clients.
Attention: If you are using IBM tape devices such as 3580, 3592, and
associated libraries, you do not need to install the Tivoli Storage Manager
device driver, since these device drivers use the IBM tape driver. The IBM
tape device drivers are available at the FTP site:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/dev/drvr
However, if you also install the Tivoli Storage Manager device driver, you will
be able to use some useful utilities on the IBM tape devices.
At the time of the writing, a number of important server fixes are available to
support library sharing and LAN-free environments. If you are using or
planning to use these environments, we strongly recommend that you install
server levels 5.2.7.1/5.3.2.3 or later.
