We are in the process of upgrading our OS/390 ADSM 3.1 server to TSM 3.7. We
have a number of client systems for which no 3.7 clients are available (one
Solaris 2.5.1, one SCO OpenServer, and a number of HP-UX 10.20 systems). We
will end up with these clients using 3.1 clients to connect to the 3.7
server.
Earlier postings to this list make it clear that this is a supported mode of
operation at present. What happens at the end of January 2001? That is the
end
of support for ADSM 3.1. As far as I can tell from Tivoli's Web site, that
date applies to all parts of ADSM 3.1: server code and client code alike. Am
I
correct in understanding that there will be no supported means of providing
TSM backup coverage for the clients mentioned above after January 31, 2001?
