HP-UX: What you should know first

Before installing IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager, be familiar with your operating systems, storage devices, communication protocols, and system configurations.

Server maintenance releases, client software, and publications are available from the IBM Support Portal.

HP-UX operating systemsRestriction: You can install and run the Version 7.1.6 server on a system that already has DB2® installed on it, whether DB2 was installed independently or as part of some other application, with some restrictions. For details, see the compatibility with other DB2 products topic.

Experienced DB2 administrators can choose to perform advanced SQL queries and use DB2 tools to monitor the database. Do not, however, use DB2 tools to change DB2 configuration settings from those that are preset by Tivoli Storage Manager, or alter the DB2 environment for Tivoli Storage Manager in other ways, such as with other products. The V 7.1.6 server has been built and tested extensively using the data definition language (DDL) and database configuration that the server deploys.

Attention: Do not alter the DB2 software that is installed with Tivoli Storage Manager installation packages and fix packs. Do not install or upgrade to a different version, release, or fix pack of DB2 software because doing so can damage the database.
