Hi Lloyd,
yes, one of the messages was from me and it was based on the experiences of
a colleague of mine with the v5.1.1 server for Windows. But a different
customer told us that he had no problems to connect with an OS/2 client to
an AIX v5.1 TSM server. So the situation was a little bit uncertain.
In the meantime I did some testing with the TSM server v5.1.5 for Linux (I
used Red Hat v7.2) and got the same results as our second customer. I could
back up, restore, archive and retrieve files. The scheduler worked and the
web client too.
So, as far as I can tell you, the AIX and Linux TSM server v5.1.x are ok
with OS/2 v3.7 clients (although not officially supported by IBM).
I hope that will help you and your customer.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Met vriendelijke groeten,
With best regards,
Bien amicalement,
CU/2,

Subject: OS/2 support on 5.X?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
All,
A while back I saw a post from someone indicating that the OS/2 clients
(3.7 vintage) did not work against a 5.1 server.
I have a customer still running a goodly number of OS/2 machines, who
would very much like to go to 5.1 (on AIX), but if the 3.7 client/5.X
server combination won't work, they're going to have to wait 'til they get
off of these OS/2 clients.
So...what I'm looking for is some kind of confirmation that this is
actually the case. Anyone else tried it who can confirm or deny this? I
don't have access to any OS/2 machines that I can use to test.
Note that they (and I) are well aware that the 3.7 stuff is out of
support, and all the ramifications of that.
Any responses appreciated.
-Lloyd
