Updates for the Tivoli Storage
Manager server component
New features are available in the Tivoli® Storage
Manager Version
7.1.1 server component.
Recover damaged files from a replication server
With Tivoli Storage
Manager Version
7.1.1, you can use node replication processing to recover damaged
files. When this feature is enabled, the system detects any damaged
files on a source replication server and replaces them with undamaged
files from a target replication server.
Manage replicated data with policies that are defined on the target replication server
With Tivoli Storage
Manager Version
7.1.1, you can use the policies that are defined on the target replication
server to manage replicated client-node data independently from the
source replication server. In previous releases, client node data
on the target replication server was managed by policies on the source
replication server.
Restrict SSL protocols to TLS 1.2 or later
With Tivoli Storage
Manager Version 7.1.1,
you can prevent the use of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols earlier
than TLS 1.2 with the new server option, SSLDISABLELEGACYTLS.
Use offline reorganization of tables and indexes
With Tivoli Storage
Manager Version 7.1.1, you can reorganize indexes and tables offline to maintain server stability and improve database performance. To enable this feature, set the DISABLEREORGTABLE, DISABLEREORGINDEX, and DISABLEREORGCLEANUPINDEX server options.
Compress archive logs
With Tivoli Storage
Manager Version 7.1.1,
you can enable or disable compression of the archive log files that
are written to the archive log directory. By compressing the archive
log files, you reduce the amount of space that is required to store
them.
Compress database backups
With Tivoli Storage
Manager Version 7.1.1,
you can choose which Tivoli Storage
Manager database
backups are compressed.
Verify tape volumes
You can now audit any volume in a tape library by using
the AUDIT LIBVOLUME command, which is available
in Tivoli Storage
Manager Version 7.1.1 for
some library types and tape drives. When this command is issued, an
entire physical tape volume is audited instead of just a storage pool
volume.
