Larry,

Close but not exactly the levels you are asking about. We were running with
a 5.2.2.5 master and two other servers (another 5.2.2.5 and a
5.1.5.4) sharing without problems.

We are now at 5.3.1.0 on the master and have a 5.3.1.0 and the old
5.1.5.4 machine sharing.... We are working on shutting down the 5.1.5.4 box
but still waiting on some old backup data to expire off.

The combination worked fine for us.

Hello TSMrs,

We are running two AIX TSM servers at 5.1.7.0. - tsm1 and tsm2. They share a
3494 library, and tsm1 is the library master.  We plan to upgrade tsm1
initially to 5.2.3.0, and in a few weeks upgrade tsm2.  This seems to be a
valid combination with the library master at 5.2.3 and the library client at
5.1.7 according to the readme file.  We are not able to test this prior to
actually doing the upgrade, so it would be comforting to hear if anyone has
actually had a similar situation.

>From the readme-----

Version 5.2.2 Servers acting as a library manager are now backwards
compatible with version 5.1 and 4.2 servers acting as a library client.
Version
5.2.2
servers acting as library clients remain incompatible with version 5.1 and
4.2
servers acting as library managers. When upgrading multiple servers
participating in library sharing to version 5.2, the servers acting as
library managers must be upgraded first to maintain compatibility among the
servers.

Thanks,
