I can help you with the question no.1 and confirm that after we upgraded our Linux TSM servers from 7.1.7.300 to 8.1.1.000 all our 7.1 and even 6.3 clients work fine. We have about 300 clients (about 250 v7, 35 v8 and the rest at v6.3). We plan to upgrade all clients to v8.1.2+ soon and then the servers to the latest v8.1.x version available. > 2.

Our six TDP for MSSQL clients work fine in the above scenario, but the MS Exch v8.1.4.0 suddenly stopped working two weeks ago, after successful 8-9 months at that level... We then tried the latest MS Exch v8.1.6.0, but the errors remained the same as v8.1.4.0. and it still fails every night... The case for MS Exch is opened with IBM support, but no solution yet...
