<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Upgrading from GPFS 4.2.x to GPFS 4.2.y should not "break" TSM. If it does, someone goofed, that would be a bug. (My opinion)</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Think of it this way. TSM is an application that uses the OS and the FileSystem(s). TSM can't verify it will work with all future versions of OS and Filesystems, and the releases can't be in lock
step. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Having said that, 4.2.3 has been "out" for a while, so if there were a TSM incompatibility, someone would have likely hit it or will before July...</span><br>

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Hi all,</span><br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> </span><br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Where should I start looking for a compatibility matrix between TSM and GPFS? Specifically, we are currently running TSM 7.1.6-2 and GPFS 4.2.1-2 with the intent to upgrade to GPFS 4.2.3-latest
in early July. </span><br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> </span><br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">I’ve spent 30 minutes looking over various documents and the best I can find is this:</span><br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> </span><br>
<a href="http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21248771"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#0082BF">http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21248771</span></a><br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> </span><br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">..which talks about TSM in a Space Management context and would suggest that we need to upgrade to Spectrum Protect i.e. 8.1 and that GPFS 4.2.2.x is the maximum supported version…</span><br>
