Early Test Program for ADSM on HP and Sun (US ONLY)

IBM's Storage System Division in San Jose, California, is pleased
to announce an Early Test program for two new versions of the
ADSTAR Distributed Storage Manager (ADSM) product, V1R2, that will
run on an HP-UX server or a Sun Solaris server.

ADSM is a client/server application which allows ADSM clients to
backup, recover, and archive data to ADSM servers through a central
scheduler.  ADSM already has a heritage of servers on the MVS, VM,
OS/2, AIX for RISC System/6000, and AS/400 platforms, all of which
support the following backup/archive client environments:

     AIX for RISC System/6000 3.1.5, 3.2, 4.1 or later
     Apple Macintosh 6.07 or System 7
     DEC Ultrix 4.2A, 4.3, or 4.4 for DECStation
     DOS  5.0 or later
     HP-UX 8.07, 9.01, 9.03, or 9.04
     Microsoft Windows 3.1
     Novell Netware 3.11, 3.12, 4.01, 4.02 or Personal NetWare 1.0
     OS/2 1.3 or OS/2 2.0 or later
     SCO 386 Unix 3.2.4 or SCO Open Desktop 2.0
     SunOS 4.1.1 for Sun-3
     SunOS 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.1.3 for Sun-4 or SPARC
     Sun Solaris 2.2 BCM or 2.3 native mode
