The IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager Space Management for Solaris 6.1.5.5 interim fix is available. A description of the offering is provided, along with links to installation resources.
The Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management for UNIX and Linux client, also known as Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM), migrates files from your local file system to storage, and recalls them either automatically or selectively. Migrating files to a distributed storage device frees space for new data on your local file system, and takes advantage of lower-cost storage resources that are available in your network environment.
The Tivoli Storage Manager 6.1.5 HSM clients contain APAR fixes (maintenance). For a list of the client APARs that are resolved in this fix pack, see APARs fixed in this fix pack.
