If you check the archives for ADSM-L, you would see that I and others have
already answered this question.

I am running clients ranging from 3.1.0.6 (OpenVMS) up to the lates
(5.5.0.6) t, to my 5.5 servers!   I made sure to experiment with the 3.1
client before I implemented the 5.5 server.

[ADSM-L] Anyone know of issues running older clients against 5.4.3 server?






We are about to upgrade our servers from 5.3.4 to 5.4.3.  I'd like to know
if anyone knows of any problems running older clients with a 5.4.x
server.  While I know IBM only supports 1 version back, it's usually the
case that older clients continue to work (with some exceptions).  Thanks
for any feedback.  We still have a bunch of 5.1.5 clients out there that
we've been unsuccessful in prodding our users to upgrade from, so that's
the level I'm most concerned about.
