That seems to be the issue..........incomplete/incorrect documentation.

Here is the message I posted and the response I received:

******************************************************************************************************

This sentence means that it will NOT INSTALL. (it won't be supported
either).   :)

        Subject:        Re: Upgrading to TSM 5.2 on a AIX 4.3.3


Interestingly enough, I went to the technical documentation on the TSM
website and looked at the installation information, and it says that it
can be run on 4.3.3.

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/tividd/td/IBMStorageManagerforAIX5.2.html 

in the quick start document under system requirements.

i am not disagreeing with you, I am looking for information.
What is the problem of ITSM 5.2 and AIX 4.3.3?

I just asked this question less than a week ago.

The answer is a resounding ***NO***.

ITSM 5.2 AIX SERVER requires AIX 5.x.

        Subject:        Upgrading to TSM 5.2 on a AIX 4.3.3


operating system AIX 4.3.3
TSM server software level 5.1.65
IBM 3494 Tape Library with 4 3590B upgrading to 6 3590E

Can I upgrade to TSM Server 5.2.X without upgrading to AIX 5.X?

Is TSM Serve 5.2 a 32 or 64 bit application?
