 Dear Save Set Manager Customer:

 In an effort to provide continuously improved storage management
 software capability to our customers, HP offers HP Save Set Man-
 ager (SSMgr) for OpenVMS VAX[TM], Alpha[TM] and I64 Version 1.8
 software.

 SSMgr is a layered software product that reduces user time spent
 on save set operations by providing capability for offline save
 set validation, copy, merge, and support for bound disk volumes.
 SSMgr therefore improves productivity by reducing backup windows,
 the number of full backups required, and restore times, without
 compromising data integrity.

 The distinct improvement in functionality in SSMgr Version 1.8
 over the previous version, is:

 -  Qualification for the OpenVMS I64 V8.2 release

 -  Qualification for the OpenVMS Alpha V8.2 release

 There are no significant functional changes to the product in this
 release.

 OpenVMS Version 7.2-2 and later provide support for Fibre Chan-
 nel (FC) connected tape devices. This is accomplished through the
 use of Modular Data Router (MDR) or Network Storage Router (NSR)
 connected to the FC Switch. Both routers convert Fibre Channel
 protocol to SCSI protocol, which the attached tape device under-
 stands. SSMgr V1.8 has been qualified on Fibre Channel connected
 devices as outlined/listed in the OpenVMS SPD(s).

 Contents of this Kit:

 -  Release Notes

 -  Cover Letter

 -  Installation Guide

 Thank you for your purchase of Save Set Manager!

 Sincerely,

 OpenVMS Product Management
