Definitely wait for 6.1.2 or a possible 6.1.1.1 release I have been "promised" to address a problem that was possibly introduced in 6.1.1.
I agree - way too unstable for production. Watch out for the hidden storage/disk requirements plus the need for 3-FULL DB backups before it purges archived transaction logs!

It is much more difficult to install TSM 6.1 in comparison with any previous version. Upgrade is going to be very painful and long as well. I have installed TSM 6.1 under AIX 5.3 - it is very unstable. I have upgraded to TSM 6.1.1 - it looks a little bit better. I am testing 6.1.1 now, but I am going to wait for TSM 6.1.2 before production upgrade.
