5.3.6 FIX7 seems to be the last one to support Solaris 8. I found it here on their FTP: ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/patches/client/v5r3/Solaris/v536 On Fri, May 23, 2014 at 6:55 AM, Tuncel Mutlu (BT İşletim ve Teknik Destek Bölümü) wrote: > Hi, I know I loo

I understand the need for old clients. Being a university, we have some boxes still using version 3 clients since their platform is no longer supported but we still have users adamantly clinging on. Zoltan Forray TSM Software & Hardware Administrator Virginia Commonwealth University UCC/Office of

We too are running RH6 and 5 Linux servers with 1120 and 1130 drives. We have only have one path to our drives. As far as we can tell the other paths are for redundancy only. The Lin_tape drivers and path process will only let you define/use one at a time. Zoltan Forray TSM Software & Hardware Ad
