IBM Diamondback Code Update Recommendation

Preventive Service Planning


Abstract

Code update recommendations for Diamondback tape libraries.

Content

This generalized recommendation is made available to assist clients in implementing a code update strategy. It is a full field perspective, and as such, a customized recommendation which takes into account specifics such as business upgrade windows, length of time since last update, decommission plans, etc. may require assistance from local support teams. In general, recommendations assume planning updates annually. The word "recommended" in the information below refers to bundles resolving specific problems for a targeted subset of tape libraries and communicated via My Notifications to clients, or ECA (Engineering Change/Field Actions) Information Alerts to IBM Service colleagues.
