I would go with 7.1, I have it on 4 Windows 2008 R2 servers without any problems. The DB improvements are great, and the use of the Ops Manager has already provided to be very useful. :)
All the best with the upgrade. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Nachtwey, Bjoern Sent: Friday, January 31, 2014 5:27 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Question: V6.3 or V7.1 for a new system? Dear all, reading the discussion about "TSM 7.1 - should I upgrade or not" seems to give me the answer for the question which version should I take for a completely new installation: for a new installation take TSM 7.1. but -- maybe some remarks are not given, what if so? therefore I do ask: Does anyone have remarks, experiences that suggest to take V6.3 instead of V7.1? Please tell me! We're going to use Linux on Dell R620 servers, i6k libraries and lto5/6 drives. thank you for any comment & best regards Bjørn
