 TSM 5.1 Not Supported on AIX 5.2

Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) 5.1 is not compatible with AIX 5.2 and will
cause a system crash if installed. TSM 5.1 is shipped in error on the AIX
5L
for POWER V5.2 Bonus Pack (LCD4-1141-00) dated 10/2002, and should not be
installed.

Once TSM 5.1 is installed on AIX 5.2, the system will crash on every
reboot.
To recover from this situation, the system will have to be booted in
maintenance mode from the AIX 5.2 installation media or a system backup
(mksysb) to uninstall the tivoli.tsm.* filesets. Alternatively, the
following line can be uncommented in /etc/inittab by inserting a ':'
(colon)
at the beginning of the line.

1. Will that combination work?

2. Is that a supported combination? Or is only TSM 5.2 server on AIX 5.2
   supported?

The docs I've seen to date hasn't directly addressed TSM 5.1 server on AIX
5.2 64 bit, and I don't have a spare 64-bit 5.2 machine to test with at the
moment. (Got plenty of 32-bit 5.2 machines; verified the client works fine)

Thanks!
