Now, I guess that means with 6.1.3.3 installed since 2010, I can't see the light even going to 6.2 or 6.3 with tablespace in db2 9.5 format. A fellow DBA suggested that if the 6.1.3.3 database was really migrated to 6.2 db2 9.7 , tablespace could be converted to 9.7 format. Do I really want to go into that ??? No, I am seriously thinking about starting a brand new TSM server with 6.3 and let 6.1 die... Thanks for all this info.

I don't agree......my main production 6.x system is 6.1.5.10 with no issues. At least it hasn't had this wacky, problem my other 6.2.x servers have had with a DB backup randomly, intermittently failing with no discernible reason....(note, there are docs that say you really need to be at least at 6.1.4.1 to resolve some big problems, especially with reorgs) Zoltan Forray TSM Software & Hardware Administrator Virginia Commonwealth University UCC/Office of Technology Services zfor...@vcu.edu - 804-828-4807 Don't be a phishing victim - VCU and other reputable organizations will never use email to request that you reply with your password, social security number or confidential personal information.

Nothing Good will Happen on 6.1. I finally got a production system stable on 6.1.3 by disabling reorgs, but that was Windows. I wouldn't even think of doing it on Linux.

IBM should never have shipped it. I can't think of a single good reason to install 6.1. Go with 6.2.3 or newer or 6.3 something.
