Zoltan, I'm pretty sure IBM they just want to cover all all the things that could go wrong with that statement, as long as a downlevel client node isn't used with a 8.1.2+ client version there shouldn't be any interruption in the client activity. There are also potential issues with tooling and

Thanks for all the feedback. Lots of good information. I did not mention that all of my servers are 7.1.7.300 (soon to look at 7.1.8.000 just release). I have no plans or desires to jump to 8.1.2/3 if it is going to cause such disruption, especially if I have to run a utility on clients to

A 8.1.2.0 server should work with older clients as long as the node is in transitional mode (q node f=d), when they jump to strict because, for example, a 8.1.2 (or higher) client version restored something from that node it jumps to strict and pre 8.1.2 clients will no longer be able to connect

I have tried an 8.1.2 client on an 8.1.1.0 server, and as in your case, it worked fine. Then, when I upgraded the server to 8.1.2, the client stopped working until I ran dsmcert.exe on my Windows client machine to install the certificate. After that, the client worked. I have not tried this

I want to revisit this thread. Unbeknownst to me, many of my co-workers have installed 8.1.2.0 (both Windows and Linux systems), totally ignoring my email that said not to. However, we have not experienced any disruptions in communications, in contradiction to IBM's dire warning that said not

What is totally clear to me is that the entire transition to TLS1.2 all the way is potentially messy. We possibly have to remove server definitions in an enterprise setup, communications might (or might not) break, and in any case an extra server restart is required after everything has been

Now I am not sure how BAC 8.1.2 works with TSM 7.1.7. Could you please check your test client with and without "SSL OFF" for dsmcert.idx, dsmcert.kdb and dsmcert.sth in baclient folder? And if they exist, what's happened when you remove those files and start client? Sorry if I pointed you in

Thank you for the information and links. I did see the YouTube video you refer to. Since we don't use SSL/TLS at all (I suspect we will with a big emphasis on PCI security), do I simply need to add "SSL NO" to the client dsm.opt files so it won't try to use SSL? We finally installed (upgraded)

You must update server certificate to SHA-256 before upgrading clients or disable SSL in dsm.opt on all of them. BAC 8.1.2 remembers server certificate and uses TLS by default, it will work with old 7.1.x SHA-1 (or MD5) certificate until you upgrade server and OC to 8.1.2. During upgrade

Hi Zoltan! The page http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21053218 shows that the SP 8.1.2 client is supported with all 8.1 and 7.1 servers. I have never encountered issues with down-leveled clients in my 20+ years of TSM history. Kind regards, Eric van Loon Air France/KLM Storage
