Novell Storage Manager introduces management and structure to an unmanaged and unstructured network storage system. In the process, it automates the full life-cycle management of user and group storage. Leveraging directory services (commonly referred to as "the directory"), Novell Storage Manager automates a comprehensive set of storage management tasks based on events, identity, and policies that reside in the directory.
New to Novell Storage Manager 3.1.1.1:
A new version of Novell Storage Manager has been built to include OpenSSL version 1.0.1g. This version of OpenSSL includes fixes for the "Heartbleed" vulnerability that can expose encrypted data being transmitted between components, and between components and a web browser. All Novell Storage Manager 3.1.x customers are encouraged to upgrade all components for their installation to Version 3.1.1.1. Novell Storage Manager customers running 3.0.x are not affected by the "Heartbleed" vulnerability (see the release notes for more information). For more information on the "Heartbleed" vulnerability, see http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140407.txt
