Tivoli Storage Manager server updates
New features and other changes are available in the Tivoli® Storage Manager Version 7.1.4 server.
- Simplify backup operations for data in NetApp clusters
With Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.4, you can simplify the process of backing up data that is on a network-attached storage (NAS) device in a NetApp cluster. You can configure Tivoli Storage Manager to use the NetApp Cluster Aware Backup extension, which facilitates backup operations in a clustered environment. - Improve performance for backup operations from NetApp file servers
When you configure Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.4 to back up data from a NetApp network-attached storage (NAS) device, backup operations use a 256 KB tape-block size. In earlier releases, a 64 KB tape-block size was used. The 256 KB tape-block size can improve system performance. - Prevent error messages when your system fails to use TLS 1.1 or earlier protocols
With Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.4, you can prevent error messages about failures to use Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.1 or earlier protocols for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) ports. To prevent the error messages, specify a value of YES for the new SSLHIDELEGACYTLS server option.
