Rich --

FWIW, I'm currently running TSM 5.1.6.3 on AIX 5.3 64-bit with no
apparent problems. We went from AIX 5.1 to AIX 5.3 in August. I'm in the
process of working out a simplified test environment for TSM 5.3, with
plans to upgrade next week if all goes well.

Subject: TSM Upgrade from 5.1.6 to 5.3

Hi Everybody,

I'm currently planning an upgrade of TSM 5.1.6 on AIX 4.3.3 to TSM 5.3
on AIX 5.2 . Since this will be an inplace upgrade on the same server,
is TSM 5.1.6 supported on AIX 5.2 ? I know that IBM does not "support"
5.1.6 , but I have a very tight upgrade  window and need to do the
upgrade in stages for both the OS and TSM version over the course of a
few Sundays as I do not see going from 5.1.6/4.3.3 to 5.3/5.3 in on
shot.

i.e.

1) First Sunday : upgrade OS from 4.3.3 to 5.2
2) Following Sunday : Upgrade TSM 5.1.6 to 5.2
3) Following Sunday : Upgrade TSM 5.2 to 5.3
