The web page at
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/Tivoli+Storage+Manager/page/TSM+Schedule+for+Fix-Packs
has the note "Removed from FTP site 12/1 due to IT05283. Replaced by
7.1.1.100." in reference to 7.1.1.000. I just looked at the FTP site and
7.1.1.000 is indeed still there. I overestimated IBM's ability to keep track of
the contents of its own Web sites and FTP servers.

FYI - 7.1.1.000 is still on the FTP site. 7.1.1.100 is also on the FTP site.

Bent,
TSM 7.1.1.000 had a bug that sometimes caused restores of large files to fail.
IBM considered the bug serious enough to warrant removing 7.1.1.000 from its
software distribution servers.

Hi Thomas,
when you are calling 7.1.1- an "utter distaster" when it comes to dedup then
what issues are you referring to?
I have been using 7.1.1 in a production environment dedupping some 500 TB,
approx 400 nodes, without any bigger issues for more than a year now.
Surely, there are still lots of "not-very-well-documented features" in TSM 7,
and I am not at all impressed by IBM support, and especially not DB2 support
and their lack of willingness to recognize TSM DB2 as being a production
environment, but when it comes to dedupping it has been smooth sailing for us
up until now.
- Bent

Emne: [ADSM-L] TSM level for deduplication
My management is very eager to deploy TSM deduplication in our production
environment. We have been testing deduplication on a TSM 6.2.5.0 test server,
but the list of known bugs makes me very uncomfortable about using that level
for production deployment of deduplication. The same is true of later Version 6
levels and TSM 7.1.0. TSM 7.1.1.000 was an utter disaster.
Is there any currently available level in which the deduplication code is
really fit for production use?
IBM has historically described patch levels as being less thoroughly tested
than maintenance levels. Because of that I have avoided patch levels unless
they were the only option for fixing crippling bugs in code we were already
using.
Is that attitude still warranted? In particular, is that attitude warranted for
TSM 7.1.1.100?
Has IBM dropped any hints about the likely availability date for TSM 7.1.2.000?
