Upgrade to TSM 5.3.? on AIX

[jackvant]

I'm currently contemplating an upgrade from 5.2 release 3.1 to 5.3.? My server is a nice H70 running AIX 5.2 maintenance level 5. During the upgrade process I would like to go from 32 bit to 64 bit operation. Has anyone out there tackled this? What were the steps and what were the gotchas? Normally I wouldn't ask this on a forum, but my pre-sales support on TSM these days leaves a lot to be desired.

The bigger 'gotcha' going to 5.3.x is the disapearance of the web interface. This means you will either need to admin the server directly from the command line, or you will need to install the ISC.



The ISC doesn't run well on AIX, and it really does need to run on its own server...
