TSM 5.3 switching to DB2 back end from SQL ?

[vishalg]

Are they changing the database to DB2 on the new release of TSM 5.3 ?

NO. In TSM 5.3 they switched to Web Administration interface to a WebSphere ISC console. Not as easy to use and requires more horse power to run. It really should run on it's own server. The TSM database is still the same prioritory system and should not change until Version 6.0 next year.
