Instead of multiple versions on the same server, could you run different versions on separate LPARS in a library client/manager arrangement ? I do run multiple servers on one AIX partition but they are on the same level.

The idea of copying around the TSM server code directories, and then installing another code level on top of them, gives me the heebie-jeebies something awful. Gentoo Linux provides for multiple code levels installed side by side. AIX... doesn't. :) I would be surprised to find that this configuration was supported, for a list of reasons beginning with the paragraph you'd need to respond to "TSM level?". How do you expect you would upgrade code bases other than the one the LPP installation thinks is installed? I'd suggest running a MKSYSB of your test server and experimenting there. That way, if you encounter serious problems you won't be too badly discommoded. And if you meet with success, I'd say "Keen!" and never try it on my own production boxen. - Allen S. Rout - Hm.
