All IBM Spectrum Protect for Virtual Environments 7.1.4 maintenance packages can be accessed using the PTF distribution Web site.
However, these PTF packages require an existing V7.1.x installation on the machine before applying them because the PTF maintenance packages do not contain the license enablement files required for use of the component. If this is your initial installation of a IBM Spectrum Protect for Virtual Environments component on a machine or VM, you should obtain your packages, with the associated license enablement files, from the Passport Advantage Online Web site.
The PTF packages, without license enablement files, can be obtained from the following URL for IBM Spectrum Protect for Virtual Environments 7.1.4 component:
