Hi
No, the contract has not lapsed (at least as far as I know), it's just the
usual issue of upgrades being put off (by me) due to so many other commitments,
one thing leads to another, and before you know it you're running an
unsupported server with unsupported clients :-)
I am not really
Ah, but that's talking about old operating system code as opposed to the TSM
code itself.
I know we are fine from an operating system point-of-view.

Hi Farren,
So for now I'm just interested to know if other people are running 5.3
clients with a 5.5 server. Trying to get all of our clients up to 5.4
will be a major undertaking.
we are running a 5.5.1.0 server with (among many other levels) a lot of
5.3 clients. No problems so far.
Wonderful, that's exactly what I wanted to hear :-)
Regards
Farren

Hi
Hello
I'm also running 5.3 clients against 5.5 Servers with no problems.
Even got two 3.7 clients on some REALLY old kit that also work (so far)
Thanks

Hello

We are running TSM Server v5.5.1.2 on AIX, and have a number of TSM clients
v5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 (principally running on Windows XP systems, but a smattering
of ones running on Mac OS X and Linux and other UNIX systems). So far, so good.

The 5.3 clients still work. (Just like your 5.1 and 5.2 clients).
But they are not supported.
The term supported has 2 meanings - the colloquial meaning is that if the
software is supported, it works on the given platform.
Supported for Tivoli software means something more stringent - supported
More than that, if you want to continue to use old clients, as I understand
it you are supposed to pay for the privilege. TSM is licensed, and the
licence is revoked when it goes out of support.
Its a two-pronged upgrade strategy... 1 you are unsupported on obsolete
levels and 2 its gonna cost
I've never heard that before.
TSM is licensed by processor core. If you are paying for the correct number
of cores, you can run any version of the client on the machine you want,
AFAIK. You're just on your own in terms of getting help with problems, if
that version is unsupported.

Maybe I have the wrong end of the stick but see

the end of support for TSM 5.3
