We have migrated to TSM 5.5 on z/OS. We have had nothing but problems, server crashes; loops; performance issues; data being unavailable; and the loss of the ability to do reclamations and tape backups.
TSM 5.5 on z/OS was a major rewrite and in my opinion is currently VERY buggy and unstable. If I could back off to 5.4.2 I would. I would advise STRONGLY against migrating to TSM 5.5 on z/OS.

Hi All, usually, after new TSM server is released you hear many complaints from early adopters about lots of problems. With 5.5 I've heard very little, so I was wondering, how many people are actually using the 5.5 server in a production environment, and how big are these? Is anyone with a db over 100 GB in size running 5.5 server? Or over 200 GB? How much data do you backup on an average day? During the last dutch TSM UG meeting, there was only one site using 5.5 server out of about 30 attendees. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Remco Post, PLCS
