For all the things they are adding into the TOC (TSM Operations Center), they
had to add new tables and functions in the TSM server itself (Which is why it
has some cool stuff we've never had before! The TOC developers are just
awesome!)
That means you always have to have the TOC talking to a TSM server at a level
that has those mods, shown in the table that Erwann provided the link for
below, and I suspect it will be the same for 7.1.1 and likely going forward.
But that's just for the top level or "hub" TOC TSM server. You can have a
hub-and-spoke configuration.
The TOC is very lightweight, and if you have a single TSM sever the most common
thing is to run the TOC on the same machine as your TSM server. But the TOC
can manage other "spoke" TSM servers, as that link below shows.
What has been suggested by sneaky folks, is that you could very easily install
TSM 7.1.1 on a tiny doesn't-run-any-backups TSM server, to be your HUB server.
Then it could manage a "spoke" TSM 6.3.4 or higher server.
And FWIW that tiny TSM can even be a VM. The TSM server is supported on VMware
if there are no tape drivERs in use.
