Question

We have to do a bunch of upgrades to TSM , AIX and GRESHAM but keep DB2 EEE 7.2 at the same level (dependency on other software).

We currently have DB2 EEE with 3 nodes on two AIX 5.1 servers. The question is can we upgrade one of those hosts to 5.2 AIX and have DB2 EEE still be happy eventhough the 2 different hosts would be running on different OS levels.

I am throwing this out here first before approaching IBM but I think I know the answer already.

thanks

if you mean an app server and a database server, Yes, if you mean different patitions, again you can do it not sure why you wound't keep all them the same though.

Well i am talking about different partitions ie

Server 1 Server 2
partition 0 partition 1
partition 2

The reason why we would need to do this in development is that we don't have the "best" or "production like developoment environment so we have to fudge things abit

Definatly not possible.
Because when their is an incompatibility it acts odd and in some occassion
it behaves right.
The reason is simple all uses the C libraries and they are shared and on top of that thing IBM uses message passing interface.
