Tivoli on 3590 devices, or devices that emulate a 3590, for Storage Network Manager (5698-SNM) provides SAN OS/390 V2R10 or z/OS operating systems that support 256 network management to help maintain the availability of KB blocks. This can result in up to a 40% improvement the physical SAN network, LUN management to help in throughput for client backup to the 3590 tape devices enable the secure sharing of disks among multiple or those that emulate 3590. systems attached to a SAN, and File System Automation to provide storage capacity on demand to SAN attached — Linux for zSeries and S/390 Client Tivoli Storage systems.

Support for Data Encryption — You can now selectively encrypt Tivoli Storage Manager client data sent to the Windows Enhancements server during backup and archive operations with standard DES 56-bit encryption. Encryption is optional Journal-Based Backups — Tivoli Storage Manager and is controlled by client options for the Windows, supports journal-based backups to increase overall AIX , Solaris, HP-UX, NetWare, SGI, Linux, NUMA-Q , incremental backup performance for Windows NT and TRU64, OS/390 UNIX Systems Services, and Linux S/390 Windows 2000 clients. Performance is improved because clients. the files to be backed up are tracked in a journal. Extending Tivoli Storage Manager Server Log Size — The Journal-based backups eliminate the need for the client Tivoli Storage Manager database log size limitation has to scan the local file system or query the server to been increased from 5 GB to 13 GB. This larger size determine which files to process.
