Tim,

We have had major, and I do mean major, problems with our upgrade, but
ours involved going to TSM server 5.5.0.0. IBM itself has been unable to
determine whether our problems are due to upgrading the server,
upgrading the clients, a combination of both, or the phase of the moon
when doing the upgrade.  

I have detailed this problem in recent posts, but will be glad to share
more info with you offline. IBM's respose to my multiple PMRs on the
upgrade issues has ranged from average to pathetic, so I would strongly
urge you to do this on just one NetWare client, and one that you can
afford to lose, as you move into the 5.5 world.

Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM Novell client 5.5 upgrade

Hello All,

I am planning to start upgrading our TSM Novell clients next week from
5.3.4 to 5.5.0 and would like to know if anyone has upgraded to the
Novell 5.5.0 yet? if so has there been any or problems?

two more questions

1) During previous upgrades uninstalling the client was not necessary
and there were no issues but someone informed me that I should uninstall
the 5.3.4 client. I have not read this on any documents or manuals. Has
anyone read this anywhere?

2) The last time we upgraded we had a issue with extracting the files to
the right directorie(s) I remember  install not finding the files anyone
ever experience this before?

The configurations are below

TSM SERVER 5.3.4
AIX 5.3
Novell Servers are at Netware 6.5 SP6
1 Novell Netware Server is at SP7

Thanks for Any Help, suggestions or comments in Advance!
