IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Operations Center Readme File
Version 7, Release 1, Modification 13.200


ATTENTION

This is interim fix (patch) level 7.1.13.200.
It is intended to provide relief for critical problems where a local circumvention is unavailable.

A limited amount of testing was done to verify the fixes. Consequently, we strongly recommend that you perform additional testing before you put the package into a production environment.

These fixes will be tested further by IBM and included in the next fix pack level.

Tip: Beginning with Version 7.1.3, IBM Tivoli Storage Manager is now IBM Spectrum Protect. Some applications such as the software fulfillment systems and IBM License Metric Tool use the new product name. However, the software and its product documentation continue to use the Tivoli Storage Manager product name. To learn more about the rebranding transition, see technote 534193.
