Hi I spoke to my contact at BMC development and the situation is as follows:

You can install the BA client as version 5 for making filesystem backups etc...
You *must* use the api version 4 (tsm) to have SQL BT working at this
moment. The problem is that the OBSI module is not compatible with version
TSM 5. The new version OBT 3.4 is almost ready and should be working with
TSM 5.
Look at www.bmc.com for the supported tsm api version 4.

good luck

Peter

As of Wednesday AM, BMC was saying no support for the OBSI witn V5R1.  As of
Thursday afternoon, BMC reversed thier position.  (It may have something to do
with the check for support that was cut on Tuesday.)  This has pushed back our
upgrade by a week, but we've found no problems in testing with AIX 4.3.3.
