This feature is not available without the 5.1 server, which is why you don't see it available from the GUI.

First, when configuring the LVSA Configuration Wizard, I am not presented with the appropriate panels to configure this feature. The Wizard goes from the "Install" choice panel, directly to "Finish". Nothing seems to be installed, or change, however, I do get the success pop-up window (either LVSA is now installed, or LVSA is already installed, if I try again). Then at the GUI, I would expect to see the option to do LVSA at the backup window - as stated in the documentation: " To perform an online image backup, select Image Snapshot Backup from the drop-down list. " That option is not present in the dropdown list. So I go to the command line, and try "backup image c:" to which I am told, "Session rejected: Downlevel server code version" TSM Server 4.2.2 AIX 4.3.3 Win2K TSM 5.1 client API installed. Any ideas about what I am doing wrong. Are some things (all things?) not supported with 5.1 clients and 4.2 server? Thank you. John
