IT34511: DOCUMENTATION NEEDS UPDATE FOR THE 'IBM SPECTRUM PROTECT PLUS SERVER IP ADDRESS' FIELD ON THE 'GLOBAL PREFERENCES' PAGE

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• The 'IBM Spectrum Protect Plus Server IP Address' definition as
  documented in the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus Knowledge Center
  document available at https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecente
  r/SSNQFQ_10.1.6/spp/t_spp_cfg_glbl_prefs.html needs to be
  updated.
  Starting with IBM Spectrum Protect Plus version
  10.1.6, the discovery server is no longer included in the
  product. This means that in the description for the "IBM
  Spectrum Protect Plus Server IP Address" field, the statement
  "The IP addresses are used for communication between the VADP
  proxies and the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus server" is obsolete,
  and should be removed.
  
  The removal of the discovery server is
  mentioned in the What's new Updates section (https://www.ibm.com
  /support/knowledgecenter/SSNQFQ_10.1.6/spp/r_techchg_spp.html),
  in the paragraph with header "Ports removed from the IBM
  Spectrum Protect Plus server requirements".
