 Dear Save Set Manager Customer:

 In an effort to provide continuously improved storage management
 software capability to our customers, Compaq offers Compaq Save
 Set Manager (SSMgr) for OpenVMS VAX[TM] and Alpha[TM] Version 1.5
 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.

 SSMgr for OpenVMS Version 1.5 runs on OpenVMS Versions 6.2, 7.1,
 7.2 and 7.3 on the VAX platform, and OpenVMS Versions 6.2, 7.1-2,
 7.2-1 and 7.3 on the Alpha platform. The distinct improvement in
 functionality in SSMgr Version 1.5 over the previous version, is:

 1. Qualified for OpenVMS 7.3.

 2. SSMgr V1.5 is qualified for tapes connected on the Fibre Chan-
    nel.

    -  OpenVMS Version 7.3 provides support for Fibre Channel (FC)
       connected tape devices. This is accomplished through the
       use of Modular Data Router (MDR) connected to the FC Switch.
       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
 therefore not function on VAX systems running OpenVMS 7.2 and 7.3.
