Question: Will TSM 3.7 work on Novell 4.11 clients running SP6a? We are trying to
get to TSM 4.1 (Server) but some of our platforms are becoming outdated which makes it
difficult. We are currently running TSM Server 3.7.4 on AIX 4.3.2 with Novell clients
running 3.1. The reason we are running 3.1 on the clients is because when we
upgraded the server to 3.7 we were told that the Novell TSM client version (3.7) would
not work with our service pak. We cannot update the service pack because we have an
application running on a Novell 4.10 server that we are unable to move at this time.
I asked Tivoli support if we could run TSM 3.1 clients with a 4.1 server and was told:
'We don't know, we haven't tested it and we won't support it. But...it might work.'
Anyway, when we tried 3.7 on one of our Novell 4.11 servers, we received the following:
