IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Server Readme File

Version 5, Release 5, Modification 6.100

ATTENTION

This is an interim fix (patch) level 5.5.6.100.
It is intended to provide relief for critical problems where a local circumvention is unavailable.

A limited amount of testing has been done to verify the fixes. Consequently, we strongly recommend that you perform additional testing before putting the package into a production environment.

These fixes will be tested further by IBM Tivoli Storage Management and included in the next maintenance/fix pack level.
