Yes they are clients to each other.  My MOON server is the LM for all
onsite/primary tape storage for all TSM servers, including SUN, which is
the LM for ALL offsite tape storage for all TSM servers, including MOON.

Not necessarily Zoltan

Do your two Library managers clients to each other?  If so then yes, you
have to upgrade both at once.  However if they do not then you can do each
separately.

I have a similar setup, but the two LMs offsite each other's database
backups using server-to-server rather than remotely mounted tapes.  Since
they are LMs-only the databases are quite small.

By using server-to-server I get around the mutual dependency.

Re: Upgrading servers from 6.3 to 7.1

Thanks for confirming what I thought.  Actually, that is our configuration.
 1-TSM server is the LM for offsite tapes and the other LM server is for
onsite/primary tapes.  All TSM servers talk to all LM servers.  So, as I
figured, I will have to upgrade both LM servers at the same time.

Re: Upgrading servers from 6.3 to 7.1

My understanding is you can do almost any combination of versions as
long as the Library Manager servers are always at an equal or higher
release than their Library Client servers. You should be able to upgrade
the Library Managers one at a time, unless they are clients of one
another, which I'm not sure is possible.

It gets trickier when you have multiple TSM servers on a single OS
image, one of which is a Library Manager. This is my configuration. (It
seemed like a good idea at the time...)
