Yeah, LPARs are just about perfect for this purpose, especially once you get dynamic allocation. The test installation can mutter along taking up .1 CPU until you actually need it. My test server is currently a B50 in a different rack. Terrific for some purposes, but not ... snappy. :) - Allen S. Rout - Our 570s should be deployed soon.

Yeah, based on your and Allen's responses, it sounds like I definitely need to re-think how I'm going to go about this. We've got a test partition and I'm already set up for library manager server and clients, so I think that's clearly the way I need to go. Thanks for your advice guys! Bill
Re: Multiple versions of TSM server on one AIX host
Instead of multiple versions on the same server, could you run different versions on separate LPARS in a library client/manager arrangement ? I do run multiple servers on one AIX partition but they are on the same level. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Allen S.

Re: Multiple versions of TSM server on one AIX host
Okay, I got no responses to the original posting, so I thought I'd try this: if anyone is successfully running multiple TSM servers at different maintenance levels on a single AIX host, would you post some details on your setup? TSM server startup scripts, relevant dsmserv.opt entries, directory structure, and anything else that's required to accomplish this?
