  software.  A  SSMgr is a layered software product that reduces user time spent @  on save set operations by providing capability for offline saveA  set validation, copy, merge, and support for bound disk volumes. B  SSMgr therefore improves productivity by reducing backup windows,@  the number of full backups required, and restore times, without  compromising data integrity.   A  SSMgr for OpenVMS Version 1.5 runs on OpenVMS Versions 6.2, 7.1, B  7.2 and 7.3 on the VAX platform, and OpenVMS Versions 6.2, 7.1-2,A  7.2-1 and 7.3 on the Alpha platform. The distinct improvement in B  functionality in SSMgr Version 1.5 over the previous version, is:    1. Qualified for OpenVMS 7.3.  B  2. SSMgr V1.5 is qualified for tapes connected on the Fibre Chan-     nel.  B     -  OpenVMS Version 7.3 provides support for Fibre Channel (FC)?        connected tape devices. This is accomplished through the C        use of Modular Data Router (MDR) connected to the FC Switch. B        MDR converts Fibre Channel protocol to SCSI protocol, which?        the tape device understands. SSM V1.5 has qualified this @        new feature in OpenVMS 7.3 as used with MDR. Please refer?        to OpenVMS V7.3 for a complete listing of supported tape         devices.   *  OpenVMS VAX V7.2 and VAX V7.3 Information  >  Please note that VAX Systems running OpenVMS 7.2 and 7.3 will?  not qualify ODS-5. SSMgr 1.5 upgrades for related support will C  therefore not function on VAX systems running OpenVMS 7.2 and 7.3.     Product Support  C  If you need assistance with this product, please call the Customer   Support Center.  1  Thank you for your purchase of Save Set Manager!     Sincerely,        .  OpenVMS Product Management CXOSWPM@compaq.com  8  Compaq Computer Corporation 2001.
