I would install the ver1 package, cp the code directory to another
directory, and then install the ver2 package, then test both.  Don't know if
it'll work, but it's worth a shot.  I mean, your package manager isn't like
the Windows Registry, right?  So I figure the chance of it working is pretty
fair.  You might let us know if it does work if you end up trying it.

Subject: Is it possible to install two different versions of TSM Server on a
single server?


A part of our DR procedures is that if we lost a given data centre we would
recover the TSM server onto the same hardware as the alternate site's TSM
server and run both instances in parallel  (Both machines are SUN 450's)

If the TSM servers were at the same release level then we have the option of
using the exact same binaries and simply point them to different config
files.

My problem occurs when one of the server levels is back level. To prevent
this problem from occurring I would like to;

 # find a method that would allow me to install TSM to host specific
directories (ie /site1_tsm/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/... rather than
/opt/tivoli/.....)

 # find a method that would allow me install a second TSM package to a
different directory (ie /site2_tsm/server/.....) I am guessing that pkgadd
will not like me installing a package on the system that already has a
package of the same name already installed.


Is this possible? An idea or hints would be appreciated
