Hello TSMers

OK, I have two questions for you today.

Question 1

The first one is quite straight foward. I am presently running TSM Server
3.7.3.8 on a Solaris 7 box and have just installed a new Solaris 8 box.
This is the first Solaris 8 machine we have and up to now I have been
putting TSM Client 3.7.2.0 on all of our machines. So what I want to know,
is will that version of the client run ok on a Solaris 8 machine.

Question 2

My next question is this. Let's say I have a machine called FRED that is no
longer needed. Up to this point I have been getting TSM to incrementally
back it up every day. I then re-build this machine and still call it FRED
so that TSM will still be able to see it as before, but of course it will
have different data on it.

So next time I run an incremental backup of this machine, I understand that
it will expire loads of files, but will it be able to cope with this, or
should I delete the present filespaces before doing a new full backup.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me

Kind Regards
