Or you can upgrade to the latest version of storage manager. We are
running 10.83 and it sailed through without issue. Now admittedly most
people have probably not upgraded as it has only been out for a couple
of weeks. I was very prompt on the upgrade as it allows the one Storage
Manager install to manage both IBM DS3/4/5000 and Dell MD3xxx from the
same program.
