I'm just looking at some of the new IBM pSeries servers based on the power4
architecture. It's my understanding that they only run AIX 5L and not AIX
4.3.. That has me wondering about potential DR related problems with TSM.
Say my environment is currently TSM 4.2 on AIX 4.3.3 and I lose everything
in a disaster except my offsite tapes. Lets say the only replacement server
I can acquire is a new pSeries that only runs AIX 5L. Perhaps I even can
only get a newer version of TSM (5.1 or 5.2). Are there any compatibility
issues in recovering a TSM DB snapshot backup to a newer version of TSM
running on a newer version of AIX?
