First off, to determine if your hardware is enough, it would be useful to know the size of your envinvironment (db size, amount of daily data, total amount of data).
As for 6.2 in general, the internal housekeeping of TSM is alot faster. One of the main issues for alot of people during 5.5 was expiration processing. With the new features such as multi-threading, expiration now goes alot faster. TSM 6.2 requires abit more hardware, but overall, all environments I've upgraded this far has seen performance increase across the board. So I believe the risk that your performance would go down to be very, very small. I think IBM mentioned somewhere that overall database performance has been increase threefolded with the implementation of DB2 as a database engine.

I know a lot of upgrades are done by moving to new hardware. We don't have that luxury. We are currently running on AIX 6.1 on p520 server. I've already upped memory to 32gb. Anyone have any experience to share?
