The default installation directories have changed for Tivoli Storage Manager Version 3 Release 7. If you have previously used Disaster Recovery Manager (DRM) to create a disaster recovery plan file, that file refers to path names that may no longer be valid. After you have installed Tivoli Storage Manager, you should back up your storage pools and database and create a new disaster recovery plan file. For the sequence and details of the procedure, see the "Using Tivoli Disaster Recovery Manager" chapter in the Administrator's Guide.
