For the record, I updated to NV 5.1.1. I do not have any 5.1.1 patches,
although I asked several times if there were in fact any. (Still
wishing that they were consolidated with the rest of the Tivoli code at
ftp.tivoli.com!!!) 5.1.1 was just as terse as 5.1.
The Customer Support guy and I became suspicious because he was able to
load it on 5.0 and 5.1.1. And I had problems with both 5.1 and 5.1.1.
I may still have the hosed DB, and could restore it for testing. Is
there in fact, a fix to 5.1.1 or are you talking about 5.1.1
specifically?
