Info for all,

Last Tuesday I upgraded my ADSM server running AIX 4.3.3 to TSM 4.1.2.0. For
all those concerned about the upgrade I must say it was quite easy. Since
I'm on AIX I can't speak for the other OS's.

My 3494 did have old Atape drivers so I had to update those, and while I was
at it I updated atldd drivers too. I have not had any problems, I know it's
only been a week. Hopefully things will remain this way and all I'll need is
some maintenance patches to fix bugs. I know we've had a lot of complaints
about this, and it may well be deserved, but if you think about it nobody
has a perfect product out of the box and software always has bugs...that's
life.... I can't very well point fingers, I'm not a programmer and have
enough problems just trying to learn it all....

I'd be glad to share a document I have with the steps I followed to anyone
who'd like it. It also has some notes I made. It applies to AIX so I'm not
sure if it will do others any good, I'll send it anyway if you like.

Email me seperately if you'd like it.

Thanks,
