Believe me I would not be so bold as to upgrade these at the same time. I'm
after some info from anyone has already done this to get some insight into
the problems I face. Was there an order of upgrade, first AIX then TSM or
vice versa?  Will the AIX upgrade look at all the options I have installed
and do them or do I still need to go back and update some packages that
might have been skipped. I've never had to do complete OS upgrade on AIX
just patches.

On this particular server I went ahead and upgraded the TSM server version
to 5.1.1.1 and will work on the AIX portion later. If anyone has any other
pointers on the AIX upgrade I'd appreciate hearing them.

Thanks,
