Hello,
It doesn't seem to be very well documented, but the 4.1 Quick Start
manual mentions:
You can choose one or more communication methods to use with Tivoli Storage
Manager. The
server supports the following communication methods:
Shared memory
TCP/IP
HTTP (for the administrative client web interface)
SNMP DPI
Also, from the web page:
http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/tivolieoc.html
End of service for 3.7 server is 10/31/2001
(except for MVS 9/30/2001)
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Vo An Nguyen

I'm not sure if this has been covered before, but IPXSPX, NETBIOS
and SNA are no longer valid COMMunication METHODs in your dsmserv.opt in
v4.1 We found out the hard way after upgrading from v3.1 to v3.7 then to
v4.1 yesterday. Our three hour install ended up being 11 hours after
having
to downgrade back to v3.7.
We did not find any references to this in any of the v4.1
documentation, but a support call to Tivoli did confirm that these are no
longer supported communication methods.
I hope this helps others of you trying to decide whether to upgrade
to v3.7 or v4.1.
This brings up a question. Does anyone know how long v3.7 will be
supported?
