What version of TSM server are you running?

AIX 4.2 may need to upgrade first to 4.3.3. then alternate cloning
migration to 5.2. It should be fairly smooth and quick. You can have
rootvg of 5.2 on SAN disk and boot off of it and in case something goes
wrong, you can boot to 4.3.3 anytime. Make sure you read the migration
guide and do better preps before you do it. If you have any other
application running, other than TSM, you need to check if is OK with
4.3.3. and 5.2. TSM 5.1.6 was ok and working good after migration to AIX
5.2.

We currently run TSM V4.2.3.2 on AIX 4.3.3. We want to upgrade to the
TSM
V5.2.2 and AIX 5.2. Is there a recommended path or people with
experience.
My feeling is upgrade AIX to 5.2 and then TSM.

To further complicate the project, the service also contains two
Servers and
two 3494's with 6 3590H drives each, connected via a SAN.

We have read that you cannot have mixed versions. This implies one has
to
upgrade both servers in the same day. This is not feasible and would
expect
at least a week between the two servers.

Looking Forward to your help and comments.
