Be carefull on AIX. Here's one that has bit us twice so far:
IC34860 and is not closed:
.
ERROR DESCRIPTION:
When using the Web Admin Gui with a version 4.2 or 5.1 server
displayed volume names can be shown with odd characters such
as %252F instead of the correct character(s).
Attempting an operation such as deleting one of these volumes
can cause the TSM server to crash. Although the odd character
display is an apparent browser problem TSM should not crash
when receiving the unexpected string.
LOCAL FIX:
Do not use the Web Admin GUI to perform volume operations when
the volume names are not displayed correctly.

So far, I haven't had any major issues with 4.2.3.0 on Win2k. Over the
next couple weeks, I'll be putting other platforms (AIX, HP-UX) to the
same version. I'll let you know how it goes.

I guess the solution is to avoid any release with a dot in it.
Ten days ago, we asked IBM for a recommendation on which release we
should upgrade to, since it seems to be universally agreed that our
4.2.2.0 is not a good place to be. So far, they haven't been able to
recommend a good release.
