Note: IBM Storage Protect backup-archive client support for third-party operating systems, applications, services, and hardware depend on the respective vendor. If a third-party product or version moves into extended support, self-service support, or end-of-life, IBM Storage Protect backup-archive client supports the product or version at the same level as the vendor. See also IBM Support General Guidelines and Limitations - IBM support for software on unsupported operating systems



 

Release 8.1

Note: The product now known as IBM Storage Protect was named IBM Spectrum Protect in levels earlier than 8.1.19. To learn more about the brand change, see IBM Spectrum brand change to IBM Storage.


Hardware
 
System Systems based on x86-64 processor architecture such as Intel 64 or AMD64
Disk Space 700 MB disk space is required to install the client
Memory
 		 No extra Random-Access Memory (RAM) is required for product installation. RAM requirements for running the product vary widely and depend on your environment, configuration, and tasks that you run. More RAM might be required to run the product.

Software
 
Communication Protocol
  • Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), which comes standard with Solaris
Operating system
  • Solaris 10
  • Solaris 11
File system For supported file systems, see: File system and ACL support

More Software
 
Backup-archive client 8.1.0-8.1.22: The Java GUI and web backup-archive client require Java JRE 7 or JRE 8
Note: Beginning with IBM Spectrum Protect Version 8.1.2, you can no longer use the web client to connect to the IBM Spectrum Protect V8.1.2 or later server. For more information, see Using the web client in the new security environment.
Backup-archive client 8.1.23 and later require Java Semeru 21. This Java Semeru 21 does not support Oracle Solaris x86. For this reason with IBM Storage Protect version 8.1.23 and later, you can no longer use GUI functionality.


 



 

End of Support (EOS) releases


 

NOTE: The LAN-free client also requires IBM Storage Protect for Storage Area Networks (5608-SAN).
