That's what I figured. 5.3.6 is the last TSM client version that states it supports W2K. 5.4.3 is the last TSM client version that states it supports AIX 5.2 Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of km Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2009 3:42 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Version Interoperability...

I've hade customers running 3.x clients against 5.4 servers so 5.x against a 5.5 shouldnt be be a problem but YMMV. On Windows you _might_ get problems with systemstate on wildly different TSM versions but running TSM 5.3 client on Win2k (last supported version) works without a hitch against 5.5 server, even so for the 5.2/5.3 baclient on AIX. My rule of thumb is, try it, it will most probably work! Ofcourse this is is not supported but neither is win2k :) -km This message (including any attachments) is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is non-public, proprietary, privileged, confidential, and exempt from disclosure under applicable law or may constitute as attorney work product.
