v2 client is not supported against both v4.1 and v4.2 server. This does
not automatically mean it does not work but in case of any problem the
only answer from IBM would be "upgrade it". So you are on your own (and
maybe the ADSM-L list).
TSM v4.2 server can work and is supported with clients v4.1, v4.2 and v5.1
(the client itself for v4.1 being out of support).
The best approach is to find the latest client supporting your version of
AIX - v3.1 for AIX 4.2.1 for example.

        Subject:        upgrade to 4.2 server - what client levels supported?


I recently inherited the TSM admin duties, so please
bear with my ignorant questions .......

I'm getting ready to upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2 TSM
server for AIX.  I've noticed that I have two AIX
clients that are at (gasp) 2.1.08.  We've been backing
them up to the 4.1 server with absolutely no problem.
Anyone know of problems I might have if I upgrade the
server to 4.2?  I've checked the client requirements
page at www.tivoli.com, but (surprise) they don't
mention anything about a client level that old.

Thanks,
M.
