Re: TSM Novell client 5.5 upgrade
Tim, We have had major, and I do mean major, problems with our upgrade, but ours involved going to TSM server 5.5.0.0. IBM itself has been unable to determine whether our problems are due to upgrading the server, upgrading the clients, a combination of both, or the phase of the moon when doing the upgrade. I have detailed this problem in recent posts, but will be glad to share more info with you offline. IBM's respose to my multiple PMRs on the upgrade issues has ranged from average to pathetic, so I would strongly urge you to do this on just one NetWare client, and one that you can afford to lose, as you move into the 5.5 world.

Re: TSM Novell client 5.5 upgrade
KevinThanks for your response! Were your recent posts on this (ADSM) site? Also, Is there a link were I could take a look at your PMRs? I do have a ID for the IBM site already. I have noticed that there is a Novell Client 5.5.0.1. I will probably be installing that one first on one server then waiting a couple days before installing the client on any more servers to see if there are any issues. I would like to also find out what the fixes are in 5.5.0.1.
