Debbie,
It would be good advice to tell you to upgrade to NetView 5.1. Tivoli is
dropping support ( code fixes in November, and all support by early next
year ) for all the 4.x NetViews. NetView 5.1 is far superior to any of the
4.x versions, including the attended MLM with the NT version. Suffice it
to say that anyone who is considering 4.x in their network management
future is going to do so on their own without any support after Q1. We
are diligently working on upgrading all the partner integration. Since the
API's haven't changed in the AIX version, chances are the partner software
will work just fine. NT and Solaris are getting Cisco and Nways support
by end of the month, Bay by end of year, and 3Com early next year. We
also have approximately 175 partners on the upgrade train as I write this.
I believe there are some ptf's in the upgrade of the OS, so please check with
Tivoli support to find out, as I'm out of the office all week and don't have
any notes with me.
Good Luck with your upgrades and don't hesitate to email me direct if you
have any questions.
Will
