--> This will require a reboot.

... which can be easily avoided!!! You will need at least one reboot
during upgrade to AIX 5L so why not to use it:
1. Remove tivoli.tsm.devices.aix43.rte fileset. It would not unload the driver 
from
the running kernel.
2. Reboot and proceed with installation of AIX 5L.
3. Install tivoli.tsm.devices.aix5.rte fileset. No need to reboot (!!!),
just invoke "cfgmgr" and devices would be detected.
4. Update paths with appropriate device names (they can be detected in
different order).

I was running TSM 5.1.7.x on AIX 5.1 32-bit for a few months, no problems.
I am now running TSM 5.2.1.1 on AIX 5.2 64-bit.

After upgrading to AIX 5.1, you need to remove the
tivoli.tsm.devices.aix43.rte fileset and install
tivoli.tsm.devices.aix5.rte
(base level plus any updates as needed). This will require a reboot. After
rebooting, configure your TSM devices with 'smit tsm_devices' and you're
done.
No need to reinstall all TSM filesets nor restore the database.

The TSM for AIX Quick Start manual describes everything pretty well.

Dmitri
