Hi all,
for information, I've implemented snapdiff but in a TSM v6.1 only
environment (client and server) and we're going on production. There are a
couple of limitations and requirements (for ex. the ntfs support only, the
UTF8 page code, the permissions on the filer ...etc.) that you should be
careful and nothing is clearly documented ... but when it works, it works
fine!
Be aware that you'll have to be using latest version of Ontap (7.3.1.x).
Thanks,

Andy,
A teammate successfully implemented snapdiff in our storage environment.
He used the 6.1 client with our TSM servers running on 5.5.1.0; his
setup works flawlessly. He will be presenting on snapdiff at the next
TSMUG.

thanks. I'm aware of the official support issue, I'll urge the customer
to upgrade the servers to 5.5.
