I think this all gets back to eager anticipation of TSM v6 features being expressed about a year ago, when excitement about a DB2 database was countered by experienced cautions to beware what you wish for. The classic ADSM/TSM database was tailored to the product, and contained efficiencies. DB2

You are completely right. 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

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

I have found next disadvantages in TSM 6.1: 1) installation is much more complicated. I think this is coming together with DB2. I was not able to install TSM 6.1 in manual mode. I have used GUI assistant to complete all tasks. In my opinion, it is not good, because I am not a beginner in TSM
