This feature is not available without the 5.1 server, which is why you
don't see it available from the GUI.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.

Hi all,

Just experimenting with this new 5.1 feature, using the Logical Volume
Snapshot Agent (LVSA).

First, when configuring the LVSA Configuration Wizard, I am not presented
with the appropriate panels to configure this feature.  The Wizard goes
from the "Install" choice panel, directly to "Finish".  Nothing seems to
be
installed, or change, however, I do get the success pop-up window (either
LVSA is now installed, or LVSA is already installed, if I try again).

Then at the GUI, I would expect to see the option to do LVSA at the backup
window - as stated in the documentation:
          " To perform an online image backup, select Image Snapshot
Backup
from the drop-down list. "

That option is not present in the dropdown list.

So I go to the command line, and try "backup image c:" to which I am told,
"Session rejected: Downlevel server code version"

TSM Server 4.2.2  AIX 4.3.3 Win2K TSM 5.1 client API installed.

Any ideas about what I am doing wrong.  Are some things (all things?) not
supported with 5.1 clients and 4.2 server?

Thank you.  John
