Ok, let's turn it round....
Do you NEED AIX 5.3?
TSM does not, we're not using symmetric multiprocessing just yet... 
you'll be happy as always with your new AIX 5.2 power5.happier, infact, as 
the I/Os will be a lot more.
you won't catch me giving actual release dates other than our official 
2H04 target GA for TSM 5.3. as for the subtle difference between "runs on" 
and "is supported on" it will suffice to know that we don't support AIX 
5.3 yet but future TSM releases will.
and that's as cryptic as IBM gets, uh?
:-)

Re: AIX5.3 and power5 for pSeries






Any more information...like release dates? The new pServers with Power5 
and
AIX5.2 start shipping next month. We have one on order to replace our
current B80 TSM server which goes off lease and support next month, too.
Calling TSM support gets us nothing. Since AIX5.3 is not release, "they"
won't comment on any support or future support. "They" say we have to try
and get that through out local IBM/Tivoli channel reps.

Will the TSM 5.2.3.0 run on it?? Does ANY current release run on AIX 
5.3????
