The reason to have separate binaries for each instance is that the process in 
AIX is tied to the binary file and holds it open.

Hi Orville!
Thank you very much for you help!
I read the technote (1052631) Richard pointed out. That doesn't mention
copying the dsmserv executable.
Any reason why you choose to do so?
Kindest regards,

You do not really need a full install of the TSM server code in both
locations.  Just a separate directory, separate config files, a separate
copy of the dsmserv binary and a the appropriate environment to run it
in.

export DSMSERV_DIR=/usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin
export DSMSERV_CONFIG=/usr/tivoli/tsm/server/instance2/dsmserv.opt

Our upgrade procedure is to do the primary install and copy the dsmserv
binary to each instance directory.  Done.

Hi *SM-ers!
I'm running two TSM server instances on an AIX host.
Upgrading them from 5.3 to 5.4.0.0 works fine. I installed the 5.4.0.0
code through smitty, changed the /usr/tivoli/tsm/server path to the
second instance and install the 5.4.0.0 code here, using the force (-F)
flag. Both instances are on 5.4.0.0 at that point.
Now I'm trying the same trick for the upgrade to 5.4.2.0. Upgrading the
first instance works fine, but since this is an update, the -F flage is
not allowed by smitty during the upgrade of the second instance:

Force Apply Failures
--------------------
The following is a list of fileset updates.  Updates cannot be specified
from the command line when the force flag (-F) is used in combination
with the apply flag (-a).

Maybe an AIX expert (and I now there are plenty of them on this list)
can help me with this one?
Thank you VERY much in advance!!!!
Kindest regards,
