Hi,
I think that this instruction from p.3  is what you are looking for:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27018195 
<http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27018195>
if you want to change mount points name in the non-root luns the only way is 
restore tsm db with relocation. This is preffered metod in all cases because 
you can test it without stoping production.

AIX version chose:

Recommended levels from TSM side:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=663&context=SSGSG7&q1=ServerRequirements&q2=AIX&uid=swg21052220&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=en

Recommended levels from DB2 side:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21165448

So you can use:

TL03: Service Pack 2 or higher (due to AIX APAR IV53587)
TL02: Service Pack 2 or higher
TL01: Service Pack 6 or higher
