That's wonderful. And the TSM 6.3 Mac client supports OSX 10.7 "Lion", which is important to us.
But there's plenty of rather bad news here. V6.3 servers and clients cannot interoperate with V5.5 clients and servers. So Mac Lion cannot back up to a V5.5 server. This also makes migration from V5.5 to V6.3 a lot harder, because a V5.5 server cannot be a Library Client to a V6.3 Library Manager. The restriction that the Library Manager must be at the same or higher release level than all of its clients means we will have to completely eliminate all of our V5.5 TSM server instances before we can migrate any of our instances to V6.3. That's going to be hard. V6.3 has dropped support for a number of client and server platforms that are still rather mainstream, such as AIX 5.3, Windows XP (still 50% of our clients), Windows Server 2003, any 32-bit Linux. See it all at: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21243309 http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21302789 Looks like we can't go beyond V6.2 for quite a while, except for a few V6.3 clients who will be restricted to our new V6.2 server that's currently in test mode. IBM: Supporting V6.3 interoperablility with V5.5 would help a LOT, at least for some limited pain areas, such as Library Manager configurations, and an Apple Mac client that can run on OSX 10.7 "Lion" with a V5.5 server. P.S. No documentation yet. The V6.3 infocenter is a broken link.
