About vulnerabilities that have been identified in IBM Spectrum Protect Client and API:
The IBM Spectrum Protect Client and API are used as components of Data Protection for VMware. The IBM Spectrum Protect Backup-Archive Client also known as Data Mover is a separate prerequisite and is included as a convenience in the Data Protection for VMware installation package. The IBM Spectrum Protect Client API is also a prerequisite of Data Protection for VMware and is installed as a part of the default Data Protection for VMware installation process. Make sure that all Data Protection for VMware functional components must be at the same fix pack level. Within a fix pack level, the interim fix level can differ.
See in the "Flashes, alerts and bulletins for Tivoli Storage Manager for Virtual Environments Support Portal" for vulnerabilities that have been identified in IBM Spectrum Protect affecting next other IBM Spectrum Protect products also Data Protection for VMware.
Instructions to replace IBM Spectrum Protect Client and API on system where Data Protection for VMware is installed within a fix pack level:
-
If the IBM Spectrum Protect Client (data mover) is installed on this system, it is possible to upgrade the Data Mover by installing the new IBM Spectrum Protect Client package. This upgrade updates the IBM Spectrum Protect API as well.
-
If the IBM Spectrum Protect Client (data mover) is not installed on this system (for example if only GUI is installed):
-
On a Linux system, it is possible to upgrade the IBM Spectrum Protect API by installing the new API package
-
On a Windows system, it is necessary to install the IBM Spectrum Protect Client package, which installs automatically the new API package
-
