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)

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.

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...

Trust but verify...

Hi all,

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.

I’ve spent 30 minutes looking over various documents and the best I can find is this:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21248771

..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…

Cheers
