        Not only isn't it supported, but please bear in mind that 3.1
        will be going out of service in January 2001 (right around the
        corner).

        I would recommend upgrading to supported software levels rather
        than trying to use an unsupported configuration (even if you
        could make it work).

        Best regards,

        Andy

        "The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked."

        Is anyone backing up an AIX node using ADSM client level 3.1.0.7 to
a 4.1.x
        TSM Server?  If yes, have you done a restore.

        As I read the web page
          http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/compatibility.html
        the ADSM client is "not supported"; but it doesn't say that it won't
work.


but have a look in the "TSM 3.7 and  4.1 Technical Guide SG246110.pdf" under
A.2.1. There is written " ....All Version 3.1 clients can be used together
with Tivoli Storage Manager V4.1 servers.....

Please can you clarify.

Mit freundlichem Gruß / kind regards
