Check the README files, to confirm your planned migration matches your expectations... in general, old clients are supported (ie, continue to work just fine!), within the following constraints: - old client on new server, only old features can be used; - new client on old server, usually okay provided new server features are not exploited; - new client to new server -- often, cannot go back to old client level... see README for migration strategy in case you need to allow for this (highly recommended for "early adopters").
So, your Win9x clients can continue to run "forever"; just need to know that (eventually) they need to upgrade the OS (and TSM client) for continued vendor support via standard service contracts.

Hello all, If I am reading things correctly, all my v4.1 clients are NOT compatible with V5.1 server. Nor is a V5.1 client (where supported) compatible with a V4.1.5 server. Is this supposed to be a multi-step upgrade? Am I therefore supposed to tell management that the presence of WIN95 laptops will stop our ability to upgrade to V5.1, (because they do not have a v4.2 client) ? http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/compatibility.html I am running v4.1.5 server on z/OS 1.1. I have WINxx (all of them ) clients, AIX, SUN, Novell, and MAC clients mostly v4.1. Has anyone gone this route already or can tell me what migration path I can take? Matt
