          OVERVIEW
          To further expand the functionality of the IBM ADSTAR (R) Distributed
          Storage Manager (ADSM) for VM, MVS (R), and VSE/ESA (TM), the
          following functions are now being made available for installation and
          use by ADSM for VM, ADSM for MVS, and ADSM for VSE/ESA customers:
          o   ADSM WebShell Interface
                     The WebShell interface runs on the client machine for any
              ADSM OS/2 (R), Windows 95, Windows NT, or AIX (R) client, and
              enables the initiation and management of ADSM backup and restore
              operations for these client machines from almost any workstation
              on almost any platform or network, via a Web browser.  It is
              downloaded and installed with the ADSM OS/2, Windows 32-bit
              (except on VSE/ESA), or AIX clients.
          o   AFS/DFS Support by ADSM
                     Customers with AFS and Distributed File Service (DFS)
              environments can now utilize ADSM for VM or MVS Version 2.1



DATA BASE : ALTR                                                     PAGE:    2


              servers to backup and restore AFS and DFS systems, thus adding to
              the end user availability and system administration options
              already provided by the AFS and DFS systems.  This support is
              provided by ADSM via the Open Systems Environment Support priced
              feature (formerly called OpenEdition (R) MVS Environment Support)
              for the ADSM AIX 4.1.4 client.  (This support is not available on
              the VSE/ESA server platform.)
          o   Greater than 2GB File Size Support
                     Customers with files larger than 2GB can now use ADSM for
              VM, MVS, and VSE/ESA servers to backup/restore or
              archive/retrieve these files from clients on most platforms which
              support these file sizes.
          o   X/Open API Compliance for the HP-UX Client
                     The ADSM Hewlett-Packard HP-UX 10.01 client, on the VM and
              MVS servers, now has support for the X/Open Backup Services
              Application Program Interface (API) specifications.
          INTENDED CUSTOMERS
          These client enhancements apply to customers who currently have ADSM
          for VM, MVS, and VSE/ESA installed, as well as to new customers.
          KEY PREREQUISITES
          ADSM for VM Version 2.1, ADSM for MVS Version 2.1, or ADSM for
          VSE/ESA Version 1.2 installed.

OVERVIEW  DESCRIPTION
          SUPPORT FOR MULTIPLE CLIENTS
          ADSTAR Distributed Storage Manager is a client/server storage
          management product that provides administrator-controlled, highly
          automated, centrally scheduled, network-based backup and archive
          functions for workstations and LAN file servers.  It backs up data
          from a wide range of clients running on:
          o   AIX
          o   Apple Macintosh
          o   Auspex (supported by SunOS client)
          o   Bull DPX/2
          o   Bull DPX/20 (Bull AIX, supported by AIX client)

DATA BASE : ALTR                                                     PAGE:    3


          o   SCO UNIX 386 and SCO Open Desktop
          o   Sequent PTX/2 and PTX/4
          o   Siemens Nixdorf SINIX 386/486 and SINIX RISC
          o   Silicon Graphics IRIX
          o   Sun Microsystems SunOS and Solaris
          o   Windows and Windows 32-bit (Windows NT and Windows 95)
                 Please note that ADSM for VSE/ESA does not support TCP/IP so
          clients that only use this communication protocol are not supported
          on this server platform.
                 The ADSM WebShell interface, which requires and works with an
          ADSM OS/2, Windows 95, Windows NT, or AIX client machine, is made
          available at no charge with these clients.  Additionally, ADSM
          provides a backup agent for Lotus Notes database backup and recovery
          (on OS/2 client).
                 For a current list of supported clients and related
          information, see the ADSM Web Site at:
              http://www.storage.ibm.com/adsm
          NEW CLIENT ENHANCEMENTS
          The following is a description of the new client enhancements that
          are being announced for the first time for at least one or more of
          the VM, MVS, and/or VSE/ESA ADSM server platforms.
          GREATER THAN 2GB FILE SIZE:  This function extends the ADSM
          backup-archive client support to file sizes greater than 2GB,
          enabling most client platforms which can process files larger than
          2GB to backup/restore or archive/retrieve via ADSM.  This function
          includes enablement of both the ADSM command line and GUI to support
          the larger file size, up to the file size limits of the operating
          system for the client platform.  Statistics fields are also widened
          as appropriate.  Currently, support for the greater than 2GB files is
          utilized by the ADSM for VM, MVS, and VSE/ESA server platforms with
          AIX 4.2 and Novell NetWare clients, and the ADSM for VM and MVS
          server platforms with Windows NT and Digital UNIX 4.0 clients.
          AFS/DFS SUPPORT:  AFS and DFS support enables backup/restore as well
          as some of the other ADSM functions to be applied to AFS and DFS
          systems, via the AIX 4.1.4 client on the VM and MVS Version 2.1
          server platforms.  This support requires the Open Systems Environment
          support feature (formerly referred to as the OpenEdition MVS
          Environment).  It is not available for the VSE/ESA server platform.
                 ADSM AFS/DFS Backup Clients system support consists of the
          following programs:
          o   AFS file backup client programs (command line and GUI)
          o   DFS file backup client programs (command line and GUI)
          o   AFS volume agent programs
          o   DFS fileset agent programs
                 The AFS file backup client allows you to backup or restore AFS
          files and directories.  In addition, it backs up AFS access control
          lists (ACLs) for directories and includes additional mount point
          support.
                 The DFS file backup client allows you to backup or restore DFS
          files and directories.  In addition, it backs up DFS access control
          lists (ACLs) for directories and includes additional mount point
          support.



DATA BASE : ALTR                                                     PAGE:    4


                 The AFS volume BackUp to ADSM (buta) is an interface program
          between AFS backup commands and an ADSM server, backing up and
          restoring AFS data.  The buta interface program accomplishes these
          processes using ADSM API function calls.  The AFS volume backup agent
          backs up AFS data by VOLUME.  Through the ADSM API, each full or
          incremental volume dump is sent to an ADSM server as a file with the
          same name as that of the volume.  The volume dump files associated
          with a dump are stored in a single file space in ADSM storage called
          the dump ID string.  An ADSM administrator can delete an AFS backup
          dump from ADSM storage by deleting the file space in which it is
          stored.
                 The DFS fileset BackUp to ADSM (buta) is an interface program
          between DFS backup commands and an ADSM server, backing up and
          restoring DFS data.  The buta interface program accomplishes these
          processes using ADSM API function calls.  The DFS fileset backup
          agent backs up DFS data by FILESET.  Through the ADSM API, each full
          or incremental fileset dump is sent to an ADSM server as a file with
          the same name as that of the fileset.  The fileset dump files
          associated with a dump are stored in a single file space in ADSM
          storage called the dump ID string.  An ADSM administrator can delete
          a DFS backup dump from ADSM storage by deleting the file space in
          which it is stored.
          ADSM WEBSHELL INTERFACE:  ADSM for VM, MVS, and VSE/ESA customers
          with ADSM OS/2 and AIX clients, and ADSM for VM and MVS customers
          with ADSM Windows 95 and Windows NT clients, can now take advantage
          of the ADSM WebShell interface.  The WebShell interface can be used
          to manage backup and restore operations for ADSM OS/2, Windows NT,
          Windows 95, and AIX client machines, from almost any workstation, on
          any platform, on any network, via a Web browser.  Also, an ADSM
          backup/restore administrator can centralize the backup restore
          operations of many ADSM OS/2, Windows NT, Windows 95, and AIX client
          machines, via the ADSM WebShell interface.
                 The WebShell interface provides a uniform view across these
          ADSM clients, regardless of platform.  To use it, all you have to do
          is point your Web browser at any ADSM client machine that is running
          the WebShell interface.
          The WebShell interface runs on the ADSM OS/2, Windows 95, Windows NT,
          and AIX client machines and provides the following ADSM client
          operations:
          o   Status of backup operations
          o   Incremental (new and changed files) and selective backup
          o   Restore
                 The WebShell interface is an option when you install the
          currently announced level of one of the ADSM (OS/2, Windows 32-bit,
          or AIX) clients.  It can then be accessed from Web browsers running
          on any other system.
          ADMINISTRATIVE CLIENT ENHANCEMENTS:  The AIX, OS/2, HP-UX, Windows
          32-bit, and Sun Microsystems SunOS or Solaris administrative clients
          have a GUI which has been reorganized into a collapsible tree
          structure.  This enables the administrator to jump immediately to
          certain functions without having to traverse several administrative
          GUI panels.

          HIERARCHICAL STORAGE MANAGEMENT:  The Hierarchical Storage Management
          (HSM) support, on the VM and MVS Version 2.1 servers, is currently
          available for the AIX 3.2 and 4.1 and Solaris 2.5 clients.  HSM (also
          referred to as the Space Management feature) migrates rarely accessed
          files to ADSM server storage while the files most frequently used
          remain on the local file systems.  The user can tailor which files
          should be migrated to ADSM server storage based on size and last
          reference date.  At some later time, if a migrated file is accessed,
          HSM will transparently recall the migrated file from the ADSM server
          storage.
                 The HSM support is integrated with the ADSM backup-archive
          function.  If a migrated file is backed up or archived, the ADSM
          server copies the file from HSM storage to backup-archive storage
          without the need to recall the migrated file.
                 Using HSM, you can defer the need to purchase additional disk
          storage on your workstations or file servers.  By migrating rarely
          accessed files to the ADSM server storage, the HSM feature ensures
          that sufficient free storage is available at the user's workstation
          or file server, giving users the perception of having almost
          unlimited local storage.
                 The HSM function makes the most efficient and economical use
          of distributed storage resources by moving files to ADSM storage when
          the user needs additional free space.  HSM takes advantage of lower
          cost storage resources, such as tape, available in the network
          environment.
          AS/400 (R) API SUPPORT:  ADSM provides an AS/400 API which allows
          users to develop their own application so that their AS/400 system
          will function as an ADSM backup-archive client.
          BACKUP-ARCHIVE CLIENT DATE AND TIME FILTERING FOR RESTORE/RETRIEVE:
          Command line options, -fromdate and -todate, have been added to ADSM
          to allow the user to query, restore or retrieve files backed up (or
          archived) within a defined time period.  Time filtering refines that
          window by accepting -fromtime or -totime.  This is particularly
          helpful if the files of interest were processed during a schedule,
          which often runs on both sides of midnight.
          INCREMENTAL BACKUP BY DATE:  Incremental backup by date uses the date
          as the single criterion for backup.  The advantage of this function
          is that it bypasses the housekeeping tasks of the regular incremental
          backup and, therefore, takes less time.  However, it is necessary
          that a regular incremental backup be run periodically.
          OS/2 CLIENT PASSWORDACCESS=GENERATE:  The Passwordaccess=Generate
          option was added to the OS/2  backup-archive client and API client.
          It keeps an encrypted password on the workstation to use during
          session initiation.  If the password expires, a new password will be
          generated (hence the name).
          X/OPEN API COMPLIANCE FOR AIX, SOLARIS, AND HP-UX CLIENTS:  ADSM
          supports the Backup Services API specifications developed by the
          X/Open International Standards committee.  These specifications
          include source procedure calls, structures and return codes used by
          the AIX, Solaris 2.5, and HP-UX 10.01 clients.  They answer the
          requirement to standardize an API between applications needing backup
          services and Storage Management vendors.

          for devices supported in the base server product and in each of the
          optional (priced) device support modules for each platform.
                 Complete device support as of the time of each ADSM for ADSM
          for VM, MVS (R), and VSE/ESA (TM) announcement is summarized as part
          of the server platform announcement.  For specific announcements, see
          the REFERENCE INFORMATION section of this announcement.
                 New devices are constantly being added.  Some of the new
          devices may require a new device driver and/or a Device Module
          upgrade.  For the most up-to-date list, contact the IBM Information

          PLANNING INFORMATION
          PACKAGING:  For current customers who already have the specific
          client, the ADSM client enhancements are available via a PTF for the
          individual client.  See the ORDERING INFORMATION section for the
          specific PTF numbers.
                 New customers or current customers who have never ordered the
          specific client will need to order the client feature.  In addition,
          you will need to order the client PTF until the periodic client
          refresh.  See the Software Announcements listed in the REFERENCE
          INFORMATION section for ordering information for these clients.
          SECURITY, AUDITABILITY, AND CONTROL
                 ADSM for VM Version 2.1 uses the security and auditability
          features of the VM operating system.
                 ADSM for MVS Version 2.1 uses the security and auditability
          features of the MVS operating system.
                 ADSM for VSE/ESA Version 1.2 uses the security and
          auditability features of the VSE/ESA operating system.
                 User management is responsible for evaluation, selection, and
          implementation of security features, administrative procedures, and
          appropriate controls in application systems and communication
          facilities.
