Minimum system requirements for Linux systems
To install the IBM Storage Protect server on a Linux system, it is necessary to have a minimum level of hardware and software, including a communication method and the most current device driver.
The optimal IBM Storage Protect environment is set up with data deduplication by using the IBM Storage Protect Blueprints.
The IBM Storage Protect device driver package does not contain a device driver for this operating system because a SCSI generic device driver is used. Configure the device driver before using the IBM Storage Protect server with tape devices. The IBM Storage Protect driver package contains driver tools and ACSLS daemons. You can locate IBM® driver packages at the Fix Central website.
Requirements, supported devices, client installation packages, and fixes are available in the IBM Support Portal for IBM Storage Protect. After you install IBM Storage Protect and before you customize it for your use, go to the website and download and apply any applicable fixes.
