Pete/Del,
Thanks for the update, hopefully the details get worked out soon, this is the 
only thing holding up an upgrade for us from an old N-Series.

Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] support for SnapDiff on NetApp filers running CDOT?

NetApp snapdiff support for filers configured to run in c-mode was added in 
ONTAP 8.2, so any future TSM client support would require this version of ONTAP.

As you probably know, ONTAP 8.2 is the last version of ONTAP which will include 
legacy 7-mode support, future versions starting with 8.3 will only support 
c-mode.

TSM client support for c-mode snapdiff is pending on going negotiations with 
NetApp which I am not at liberty to discuss.

All I can say is that there is no technical reason why a future TSM client 
version could not support c-mode snapdiff.

Sorry I can't provide more information ....

Has anyone heard when Tivoli is going to release a version of SnapDiff that 
works on Clustered Data Ontap 8 (think latest version is 8.2 or 8.3)?
 My understanding is that NetApp has given the API's to IBM, waiting on IBM to 
incorporate them.

Thanks,
