I'm a member of the information development team that produces the server documentation. I'd like to share some information about the omission of the Administrator's Guide from V7.1.3 documentation. For Version 7.1.3 and going forward, the focus of the server information development team is on simplification and promotion of best practices for server planning, installation, and operation. With V7.1.3, we are delivering descriptions of four best-practice solutions: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.3/srv.solutions/t_solutions_main.html And we are delivering solution guides for two of the four solutions. The guides have cookbook-like content to enable implementation and operation of a solution through task-oriented information that is easy to use and accessible. See the new guides here: Single-site disk solution: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.3/srv.solutions/c_ssdisk_solution.html Multisite disk solution: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.3/srv.solutions/c_msdisk_solution.html Some pieces of the former Administrator's Guide are available in the V7.1.3 collection in IBM Knowledge Center, but not in a prebuilt PDF file. See that content here: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.3/srv.admin/r_configuring_srv.html We also included links to some V7.1.1 information for convenience. The V7.1.1 and earlier editions of the Administrator's Guide remain available. For V7.1.1, see http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.1/com.ibm.itsm.srv.common.doc/t_server_main.html . For the corresponding PDF files, download the V7.1.1 zip file from ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/products/TSM/current/ and look for files that start with "b_srv_admin_guide". (The V7.1.1 PDF files are not in IBM Knowledge Center.) Information about server commands is still being delivered as usual, in IBM Knowledge Center (online and in PDF files) and in command-line help. Delivery of additional solutions and solution guides is under consideration.
