Title: TSM question
Post by: jo19021 on April 14, 2011, 04:53:28 PM
Anyone know where I can get a copy of TSM 5.1 for AIX?  IBM no longer supports, so they have not been able to produce a copy.  We have a server that we are decommissioning that has tsm 5.1 and we are planning on upgrading that server all the way up to 5.5, but all of the warnings tell us to have the old version on hand to re-install in case something goes wrong.

Hello,

my best bet would be to ask your IBM representative (Sale, technicien, ...) they can provide you the correct software version.

I've looked from my side (at IBM), and even if TSM is no longer supported, I can download the version 5.1.5.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Alessandro

Hi Jo.

Back up the database from the 5.1 server, and restore it to a TSM server running 5.3, then upgrade that to 5.5.  Direct upgrades are generally supported from X-2 ("X minus 2") versions, where X is the 'current version'.  (So, from TSM 5.3, X-2 is 5.1.  Then, from TSM 5.5, X-2 is 5.3.)
