Re: [ADSM-L] Be Aware: TSM 6.2.3 & AIX 7 TL2 FP2 don't mix

Thanks Paul,

I've read thru the notes and you're right. TSM 6.2.2 is supported on AIX 7.1.

So upgrade to AIX 7.1 and leave TSM to version 6.2.3 is the best solution here

Best Regards,
Oscar

Hi Oscar, 

Technote 1052220 states that AIX 7.1 is supported in combination with TSM 6.2.2 
and higher: 

" OR

AIX 7.1 Service Pack 1 running in a 64-bit kernel environment (starting with 
Tivoli Storage Manager server V6.2.2.0 )"

Best Regards,
Paul

Hi all,

 

This is just a warning; we had updated our AIX servers to TL6 FP6 and had 
issues with our TSM server rebooting unexpectedly at random times.

Raised a call with IBM and they came back with the response that it had to do 
with "APAR IV08112: POSSIBLE CRASH POSTING AIO/IOCP PACKET".

 

Solution was to upgrade AIX to TL7 hence I did.

 

Since then the TSM database backups are terrible slow so raised another call 
for this.

 

Shockingly TSM support came back that AIX TL7 isn't supported for TSM
6.2 so they recommend either:

 

-          Upgrade AIX to v7 and TSM to 6.3

-          Roll back to AIX 6 TL2 

 

You can imagine how annoying this is so please be aware

 

Best Regards,

Oscar
