An obvious, major consideration for your customer is that AIX 5.2 is out of support: http://www-01.ibm.com/software/support/systemsp/lifecycle/ This may leave them at jeopardy for security problems, and make it difficult to add new hardware.

One of our customers is planning to buy TSM for their AIX 5.2 systems. The problem is that the newest version of TSM what supports AIX 5.2 is TSM 5.4. Two solutions: - upgrade AIX systems to 5.3 or 6.1 - forget about TSM 6.1 and use TSM 5.4 You know the application side people are unwilling to move their environment. I am looking for convincing highlights to motivate them to upgrade their operating systems instead of downgrading TSM side. What features of TSM 6.1 do you think could be interesting from executive's point of view?
