Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows: Administrator's Guide
|The following changes have been made to the product for this edition:
|
- |Tivoli Data Protection for NDMP
- |The new Tivoli Data Protection for NDMP product supports NDMP backup and
|restore for network-attached storage (NAS) file servers from Network
|Appliance. NDMP is an industry-standard protocol that allows a network
|storage-management application to control the backup and restore of an
|NDMP-compliant file server without installing third-party software on that
|server. The NAS file server does not require installation of Tivoli
|Storage Manager software. The Tivoli Storage Manager server uses NDMP
|to connect to the NAS file server to initiate, control, and monitor a file
|system backup or restore operation. The NDMP support for NAS file
|servers enables higher performance backup to tape devices without moving the
|data over the LAN. Tivoli Data Protection for NDMP is a separately
|priced and licensed product. See Chapter 5, Setting Up Tivoli Data Protection for NDMP for more information.
- |Device Support Enhancements
-
|
- |Tivoli Storage Manager includes support for two versions of Quantum's
|Super DLT Drive. The two versions are Backward Read Compatible (BRC)
|and Non-backward Read Compatible (NBRC). For more information see
|Administrator's Reference.
- |Tivoli Storage Manager servers can now share tape drives in a
|StorageTek library controlled by ACSLS or LibraryStation software.
|Gresham Extended Data Technology DistribuTAPE (EDT-DistribuTAPE) is a
|middleware software program that takes advantage of Tivoli Storage
|Manager's external library interface to allow tape drives in ACSLS
|libraries to be shared among servers. This support allows a storage
|agent to access an external library for LAN-free operations. See
|TSM Managed System for SAN Storage Agent User's Guide for more
|information.
- |Tivoli Storage Manager has improved error checking for the drive cleaning
|process. For more information, see Chapter 7, Managing Drives and Libraries.
- |Tivoli Storage Manager includes support for the Sony DTF-2 drive.
|For more information, see Administrator's Reference.
