Question
What are the hardware and software requirements for IBM Spectrum Protect for Workstations V7.1.X?
Answer
Tip: Beginning with Version 7.1.3, Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack for Workstations is now IBM Spectrum Protect for Workstations. Some applications such as the software fulfillment systems and IBM License Metric Tool use the new product name. However, the software and its product documentation continue to use the Tivoli Storage Manager product name. To learn more about the rebranding transition, see http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21963634.
