Following up on this thread, the 7.1.1 Administrator's Guide PDFs are now available in IBM Knowledge Center at http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.1/com.ibm.itsm.tsm.doc/r_pdfs_tsm.html This is in addition to where they were available before, in the .zip file and on the Tivoli Storage Manager wiki. We hope this makes it easier to find and access the 7.1.1 guides.
A reminder: We are still very much interested in hearing about what the most important subjects from the 7.1.1 Administrator's Guide are for us to consider for updates. Knowing more specifics about your priorities is very important to us to set priorities. One way to give such feedback privately: Go to any topic (in any version) for Tivoli Storage Manager in IBM Knowledge Center and click the Feedback link in the menu bar at the very bottom. If your comments exceed the 1000-character limit in the feedback form, you can include your email address in the feedback and ask us to contact you.

I gave some information in a response to that earlier feedback: http://www.mail-archive.com/adsm-l@vm.marist.edu/msg99286.html We are working on a plan to publish a solution guide for the disk-to-tape architecture next. This should fill in some gaps left by the removal of the Administrator's Guide. Timing of the publication is yet to be determined. We are also discussing how to fill the information needs for those who will not be using one of the four documented architectures. We already point to the 7.1.1 guides from newer releases but we realize this is not ideal. Possible actions include creating additional, supplemental information outside of the solution guides, similar to what we have done for the information about NDMP ( http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.4/srv.admin/r_ndmp.html ). What are the most important subjects from the old Administrator's Guide for us to consider? Knowing more specifics about your priorities would be very helpful to us for setting our priorities and plans. Web traffic for the content on IBM Knowledge Center gives us some information but not a complete picture of needs. Meanwhile, to make the 7.1.1 Administrator's Guide PDFs easier to find and download, today we added the five English PDFs to the Tivoli Storage Manager wiki. Find the links to them on this page: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/Tivoli%20Storage%20Manager/page/Version%207.1.1%20PDF%20files%20of%20IBM%20Tivoli%20Storage%20Manager%20documentation The 7.1.1 Administrator's Guide PDFs are also still available in the 711_411_PDFs.zip file that you can find at ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/products/TSM/current/ The available translations are in the 711_411_PDFs_nl.zip file in the same directory. All this content (English and other languages) remains available online in IBM Knowledge Center at http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.1/com.ibm.itsm.srv.common.doc/t_server_main.html PDFs for previous releases, including several unsupported levels, are also still available. Start on this page: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/Tivoli%20Storage%20Manager/page/PDF%20documentation (Note: This wiki was unavailable for several days, starting on 11 December. While the wiki is available again, restoration of some pages and links is still in progress. Unfortunately you might find some links that don't work, especially for the unsupported releases. I don't know the projected date for completion.) Clare Byrne Information Development for IBM Spectrum Protect Tucson, AZ US
