The updates specifically address security concerns involving Microsoft Visual C 2. Service Pack 1. While we do not believe there is an existing security exposure to any current or previous client service packs, IBM is following Microsofts recommendation and will, therefore, require this security update to be applied before installing the client service packs.

If using POWER7 it needs to be in POWER6 compatibility mode. Recommended and minimum memory requirements and minimum space requirements to run Recommended memory 1. GB. 1. 6 GB if you are using deduplication. Also consider Large production servers may require more than the recommended amount of memory. Minimum memory 4 GB for small production servers. A server is considered to be small if it has the following characteristics It does not use storage pool deduplication. It supports only a small number of clients, or the nightly backup data transferred is 1. GB or less. It is used only as a library manager. On a machine having only 4 GB of RAM, only a single server is being run. Additional information to consider If the intention is to run with less than the recommended amount of memory, it is further suggested that this configuration be tested under those circumstances to determine that this will support the intended workload in this particular environment. Or if V6. 1 servers are already implemented in these less then recommended memory environments, that would also provide a proof point that this may be suitable for these particular environments. For more details about deduplication, search the keyword deduplication. Disk Space. 5 MB for the var directory 3. MB for opt directory if you create mount points, otherwise, 2 GB for the opttivolitsm directory 3. MB for the tmp directory 3. MB for the usr directory 2 GB in the home directory. Significant additional disk space is required for database and log files. The size of the database depends on the number of client files to be stored and the method by which the server manages them. The default active log space is 1. GB, the minimum that is needed for most workloads and configurations. Allocate at least three times the active log space for the archive log 4. GB. Ensure that you have sufficient resources if you are using deduplication or expect a heavy client workload. For optimal performance and to facilitate IO, specify at least four separate directories or Logical Unit Numbers LUNs to be used by the database. This allows IO to be balanced across multiple directories or mounts.
