Hi Joni

If you are using IBM LTO2 drives, only the Atape driver or its Solaris
equivalent have to be installed. As for the Version levels for server and
storage agent, checkout the 5.2.3.0 readme file, there has been some
improvement as to what is supported.

storage agent & device support?






Hey!

We are going to install the storage agent onto our solaris and AIX servers
and it states that we should install the SCSI device support TICsm Sdev,
but we have already installed the IBM device drivers (ATape and IBMtape).
Do we have to install Tivoli's device support code?  My thoughts are that
it isn't needed with our configuration.  (We have LTO2 drives in an STK
SL8500 library)  Also, does the regular TSM client and the Storage agent
have to be at the same level?  Thank you!
