I just got done going through this (because of the support issue) and went
from 3.7.3.6 to 4.1.4.5. It was a snap. Upgrade took about an hour. Nothing
much needed to be done except install the new code from smitty and register
the new licenses. I have never had a client related support issue (am at
3.7.2) so I am in no hurry. I have upgraded a couple of AIX boxes to 4.1.3
and have not had any issues, as well as an NT server as well as a Novell
server. The Novell client upgrade has not been smooth and there have been
issues with logins and such and these probably have to do with the dsm.opt
file.

Subject:  Which TSM client version is most stable


Hi fellow TSMers

At present I am running a TSM 3.7.3.8 Server attached to 23 client
(Solaris, OS/2 and NT). Most of the client are the 3.7.2.0 release.

In the near future we will need to upgrade our server to be in compliance
with support, but I figured it would be a good idea to upgrade the clients
first.

a) Does this sound like a good idea?

b) What version of the client do people feel will be the most stable (i.e.
the most tested). I am assuming that upgrading to the latest release will
quite often mean a lot of teething problems.

Thanks for your help in advance

All the best

Farren Minns :)
