I upgraded to Compaq unix V5 running Tivoli 5.1 and it worked fine.
However you are correct you cannot re-install the product on V5. When I
had to do a reinstall I had to go back to V4.1 first.

Well, I don't know what will happen if you migrate (that is, change the
operating system while leaving the installed products in place) an
existing box
with NetView already installed. But currently the Framework will not
install on
COMPAQ Tru64 UNIX 5.0, or so they tell me, so NetView won't either.
Will they
run if already installed? No one knows.
The NetView Verification unit won't even attempt to test NetView on the
box
until Framework will install on it. So there is no one who can answer
your
question at this time. I wasn't even aware that COMPAQ Tru64 UNIX 5.0
was
available in production yet, but I don't keep up on these things. I am sorry
to
say that is one of the hazards you face on what Tivoli calls a "Tier 2"
operating system. Support is not available for them as quickly as for
other
platforms.
If I hear that this has changed I will certainly post it here, but for now,
you
are limited to the Version 4 of Digital UNIX, as our documentation states.

Subject: Migration from Dec-Unix to COMPAQ Tru64 UNIX 5.0
Hello,
Somewhere next year(which can be very soon) we will migrate to
COMPAQ Tru64
UNIX 5.0.
Are there any consequences for NetView? At this moment we are using
version
5.1.2 and TME10 3.6.
Thanks in advance.
