Glad you mentioned this since I take issues with this "requirement".

Yes, I have seen the docs that say this is how it should/must be. However,
my 6.1.x server  has been a "library client" to the 5.5.x "library
manager" servers since I first installed and configured it.  I have never
seen an issue with this configuration.

To be on the "safe side", I have been migrating the LM functionality to
the new 6.2.x servers.

Speaking of that, also note that the library manager must be running the
latest TSM version of all the systems talking to a particular library.
