TSM development tests and verifies that TSM software will work one
release ahead and behind, relative to what other TSM software it is
communicating with, and thus can say that such combinations are
supported.  Other combinations will work, but are not supported.
(Some of us have V2 clients running with V5 servers.)  Naturally, you
should not attempt to utilize advanced, new-release functions in a
client which a release-behind server is not programmed to handle.

Hi all,

We plan to upgrade our tsm-servers from V5.2.7.3 to V5.4.1. The
compatibility-matrix for client-server-versions tells me that only
5.3 and
5.4 clients are compatible. Is this because 5.2 is out of support ?
Does
anybody know if 5.2 clients (ba-client and tdp for oracle) work
with 5.4
server. Or do I have to migrate all those clients that are on 5.2
or lower ?

Thanks for help
Christoph
