NetApp snapdiff support for filers configured to run in c-mode was added in ONTAP 8.2, so any future TSM client support would require this version of ONTAP.
As you probably know, ONTAP 8.2 is the last version of ONTAP which will include legacy 7-mode support, future versions starting with 8.3 will only support c-mode. TSM client support for c-mode snapdiff is pending on going negotiations with NetApp which I am not at liberty to discuss. All I can say is that there is no technical reason why a future TSM client version could not support c-mode snapdiff. Sorry I can't provide more information ....

Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> Has anyone heard when Tivoli is going to release a version of SnapDiff that works on Clustered Data Ontap 8 (think latest version is 8.2 or 8.3)? My understanding is that NetApp has given the API's to IBM, waiting on IBM to incorporate them.
