New features and other changes are available in the Tivoli® Storage Manager Version 7.1.8 server.
- Protect your storage environment with an improved security protocol
Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.8 provides an improved security protocol. - Optimize security with the automatically generated master encryption key
Beginning with Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.8 and IBM Spectrum Protect™ Version 8.1.2, a master encryption key is automatically generated when you start the server if the master encryption key did not previously exist. - REGISTER NODE command no longer creates an administrative user ID by default
