Abstract

IBM Spectrum Protect client management services - Currency Awareness

Content

As of IBM Spectrum Protect 8.1.13, the CMS is only shipped to support backup-archive (BA) Clients through version 8.1.12.
  • Starting with IBM Spectrum Protect 8.1.13, all the CMS capabilities are delivered as part of the IBM Spectrum Protect Client. The IBM Spectrum Protect Operations Center communicates only with the client and not with CMS, and installing CMS on the client after 8.1.12 is not recommended.
  • If you need fixes or security updates, move to backup-archive clients at version 8.1.13 or above.
  • CMS version 8.1.17 is the terminal version for the separate package. It is no longer being updated or delivered for any version of the client.
For more information about how to use the Operations Center to collect diagnostic information from client machines, see https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spectrum-protect/8.1.17?topic=center-collecting-diagnostic-information-client-management-service.
