Tip: Beginning with Version 4.1.3, Tivoli Storage FlashCopy® Manager is now IBM Spectrum Protect™ Snapshot. Some applications such as the software fulfillment systems and IBM License Metric Tool use the new product name. However, the software and its product documentation continue to use the Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager product name. To learn more about the rebranding transition, see http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21963634.
The IBM Spectrum Protect Snapshot product is comprised of multiple components which support a variety of operating systems, databases, and applications. Due to the large number of components included in this product, the Known Issues & Limitations for this product have been separated into multiple documents in order to enable you to focus on only the issues that apply to your application environment. Each IBM Spectrum Protect Snapshot component supports a specific application or operating environment as described in the table.
This document will provide a list of the components included in the IBM Spectrum Protect Snapshot product, a description of the environment supported by each component, and a link to the Known Issues & Limitations documentation for each component.
