Hi,
I have asked Tivoli support about upgrading the server from 3.7 to 4.2.
They propose 3 solutions:
     Upgrade the TSM Server and all the client the same day to 4.2.x !
     Upgrade the TSM Server to 4.1, then the client to 4.2, then the server
     again to 4.2
     Upgrade the clients to 4.1, then the server to 4.2, then the clients
     again to 4.2

Sorry, I have no information regarding 3.1

Subject:  TSM Server 4.2, is it compatable with TSM clients 3.7 and 3.1 ?


We're looking to upgrade our TSM Server from 3.7 to 4.2, before version 3.7
goes out of support by 31/10/01. Our TSM servers run on AIX 4.3.3.

Unfortunatly we have several AIX clients TSM client 3.1 (running on AIX
4.1.5) and due to historical reasons they can't upgrade their TSM client
3.1/AIX 4.1.5 for some while yet.

Yep I know, support issues all round.
Two questions :

1. If I upgrade our server to TMS 4.2, will TSM clients 3.7 and 3.1 still
work?

2. If not, will TSM Server 4.1 work with TSM clients 3.7 and 3.1, which may
help for the next few months until TSM 4.1 goes out of support?

cheers
Paul Cross
