Rich - I'm running TSM 5.1.5 BAclients on AIX 4.3.3 to our AIX TSM Server 5.3.1.0. It's been running without fail for about the last 8 months. This is definitely NOT a supported or certified configuration. On the other hand it works.
We ended up with this configuration after upgrading our W2K/W2K3 nodes to TSM 5.3.x and our AIX TSM server to 5.3.x and our AIX nodes to TSM 5.2.x. We couldn't update several AIX boxes from 4.3.3 so we just left them alone and they happily kept right on doing backups and the occasional restore. ltp "Kauffman, Tom" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[email protected]> 01/16/2006 10:57 AM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[email protected]> To [email protected] cc Subject Re: [ADSM-L] TSM Upgrade from 5.1.6 to 5.3 Rich -- FWIW, I'm currently running TSM 5.1.6.3 on AIX 5.3 64-bit with no apparent problems. We went from AIX 5.1 to AIX 5.3 in August. I'm in the process of working out a simplified test environment for TSM 5.3, with plans to upgrade next week if all goes well.

Since this will be an inplace upgrade on the same server, is TSM 5.1.6 supported on AIX 5.2 ? I know that IBM does not "support" 5.1.6 , but I have a very tight upgrade window and need to do the upgrade in stages for both the OS and TSM version over the course of a few Sundays as I do not see going from 5.1.6/4.3.3 to 5.3/5.3 in on shot. i.e. 1) First Sunday : upgrade OS from 4.3.3 to 5.2 2) Following Sunday : Upgrade TSM 5.1.6 to 5.2 3) Following Sunday : Upgrade TSM 5.2 to 5.3 Rich
