ATTENTION

This is an interim fix (patch) level 5.4.6.2.
It is intended to provide relief for critical problems where a local circumvention is unavailable.
A limited amount of testing has been done to verify the fixes. Consequently, we strongly recommend that you perform additional testing before putting the package into a production environment.
These fixes will be tested further by IBM Tivoli Storage Management and included in the next Maintenance / Fix Pack Level.
