I'm about to perform a Maintenance Level upgrade on my AIX 4.3.3.0 Operating
System.

Have been running TSM Server version 3.7.1 since 12/1999 on the original AIX
4.3.3.0 just fine.

I'm told that TSM 4.2.1 Server (for AIX) requires AIX 4.3.3 Maintenance
Level 6 or later, and it was suggested that I go right to Maintenance Level
9.

I run the Pre-Installation Check command "lppchk -v" successfully.
When I issue the next command "lppchk -c" I get 5 errors.
/usr/lpp/atldd/atltrc could not be found
/usr/lpp/atldd/mtevent could not be found
/usr/lpp/atldd/mtlibio.h could not be found
/usr/lpp/atldd/trcatl could not be found
/usr/lpp/atldd/mtlib could not be found

I'm thinking that one of the earlier Maint. Levels might've fixed these
problems...

I'm looking for advice on performing the Maintenance Level upgrade on AIX
4.3.3.

Do I need to shutdown the TSM Server to perform the AIX 4.3.3 Maintenance
Level upgrade?

Will I have a problem with my existing TSM 3.7.1 server when upgrading to
M.L. 9?

I'm told that the AIX command "oslevel -r" only works with a Maintenance
Level release higher than where I'm at (like M.L. 4 or higher?)

Thanks,
