Open Snap Store Manager can now be installed on AIX

Starting with version 8.1.18, you can now install and use Open Snap Store Manager (OSSM) on a IBM Spectrum® Protect server that is running on the AIX® operating system. The OSSM component in earlier versions was introduced for only the Linux® x86_64 operating system.

By using OSSM, data from IBM Spectrum Protect Plus now can be directly backed up to the IBM Spectrum Protect servers that are running on the following operating systems:
  • IBM® AIX
  • Linux x86_64

To start the direct data backup operations from IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, you must install and configure the OSSM component on the same system where the IBM Spectrum Protect server is installed.
