- Server-Free Data Movement
- Server-free data movement uses the SCSI-3 extended copy command to do
full-volume backup and restore. It provides the following
advantages:
- Reduces Tivoli Storage Manager client and server CPU utilization.
- Eliminates data movement on the LAN.
- Improves performance for data movement operations.
- Allows the server to handle more concurrent client connections and server
operations.
See Administrator's Guide for more information.

commands, rather than in the DEFINE DRIVE, UPDATE DRIVE, DEFINE LIBRARY, and
UPDATE LIBRARY commands
- Path names for external libraries are now specified in the DEFINE PATH
command.

- Moving Data by Node
- You can use the MOVE NODEDATA command to move data in a sequential-access
storage pool for one or more nodes, or move data in a single node with
selected file spaces. You can also use MOVE NODEDATA to consolidate
data for offsite disaster recovery storage, or move data to another storage
pool.
See Administrator's Guide for more information.
- Support for Simultaneous Writes to Primary and Copy Storage Pools
- You can specify copy storage pools in a primary storage pool
definition. When a client backs up, archives, or migrates a file, the
file is written to the primary storage pool and is simultaneously stored into
each copy storage pool.
See Administrator's Guide for more information.

- Data Validation with Cyclic Redundancy Checking
- Tivoli Storage Manager provides the option of specifying whether a cyclic
redundancy check (CRC) is performed during a client session with the server,
or for storage pools. The server validates the data by using a cyclic
redundancy check which can help identify data corruption. Data
validation can be enabled for one or all of the following:
- Tivoli Storage Manager client nodes at Version 5.1
- Tivoli Storage Manager storage agents at Version 5.1
- Storage pools
See Administrator's Guide and TSM Managed System for
SAN Storage Agent User's Guide for more information.

- New Licensing Method
- The new licensing method enables you to register the exact number of
licenses that are required, rather than in increments of 1, 5, 10, and
50.
See Administrator's Guide for more information.
- Support for Windows XP/2002 Tivoli Storage Manager Backup-Archive Clients
- Support is now added for Windows XP and Windows 2002 Tivoli Storage
Manager backup-archive clients that run in 64-bit mode. These two
Windows platforms are a Unicode-only version of the client.
See Administrator's Guide for more information.

- Communication Method
- Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows no longer supports the Internetwork
Packet Exchange (IPX)/SPX and NETBIOS communication methods. The
COMMMETHOD server option has been updated to reflect this change.
