This is supposed to be true but Tivoli had some cases with 4.2.1 where that was not true. If you are a site like ours where we will probably have 30 to 50 SAN Managed Clients, it becomes nearly impossible to rollout the release upgrade.

I was talking to a Tivoli Level 2 person and got a bit of good news on this - TSM has maintenance levels of "a.b.c.d" as we all know (for example 4.2.2.5). When changing server levels, the first 3 numbers of the TSM Server level have to match the San Storage Agents when applying maintenance. The last level (the fixtest level) does NOT have to be the same. For example, a 4.2.2.5 TSM server is compatible with a 4.2.2.0 San Storage Agent. Of course, this doesn't help anyone going from 4.2.2.4 to 5.1.1.0. In this case, all San Storage Agents and TSM servers code levels have to updated at the same time.
