I have a few Solaris 9 5.5.3 clients and some Linux 5.5.1 clients working with a 6.3.0 server. their just not supported. Be aware that NODE REPLICATION of a 6.3.0 Client to a 6.3.0 Server will sometimes fail because of wanting data from your offsite DR tapes. IBM is supposedly working on a fix, but does not have an time estimate. Meanwhile, there is no known workaround. Ray
