When you upgrade a Tivoli® Storage Manager client, there are additional things to consider before you use the new client software.
For Mac users, updates to the Mac
OS X client contained in Tivoli Storage
Manager 6.3, or
newer versions, require you to consider the following items:- When you use the Mac OS X client that is provided in this release, ensure that the dsm.sys and dsm.opt files are encoded by using Unicode (UTF-8). UTF-8 encoding enables the use of characters from any language in the options files. If your dsm.sys or dsm.opt files were previously encoded as MacRoman (or anything other than UTF-8), open them in an editor like TextEdit and save them with UTF-8 encoding, and without the .txt extension. Your include-exclude lists can be encoded as either UTF-8 or UTF-16. For more information about using Unicode, see Considerations for Unicode-enabled clients.
- Tivoli Storage Manager server file spaces that were created by Mac OS 9 clients cannot be managed by the Mac OS X client that was provided in Tivoli Storage Manager 6.3. Use q file node f=d on the server to list files stored for a given node. Any Mac-platform files that do not start with a slash (/) might have been created by an older Mac client. You cannot restore or otherwise manage these files by using the Mac OS X client that is provided in this release. You can manage these files, but you must use a Mac client that is installed on a Tivoli Storage Manager 6.22 (or older) node.
When you install the web client, you must install the web-client language files that correspond to those languages you want to use. To view the online help from the web client applet in languages other than English, you must install the language versions of the help files on the agent, the system where the Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive client was installed. If the language versions are not installed or are not available, the online help is displayed in English.
The size of the buffer to record change notifications
for a particular journal file system (DirNotifyBufferSize) has changed.
The default value is 16 KB.
For a list of new and changed messages since the previous Tivoli Storage Manager release, see the client_message.chg file in the client package.
