  This paper is concerned with general $n\times n$ upper triangular operator
matrices with given diagonal entries. We characterize perturbations of the left
(right) essential spectrum, the essential spectrum, as well as the left (right)
the Weyl spectrum of such operators, thus generalizing and improving some
results of \cite{CAO}, \cite{CAO2}, \cite{SUNTHEORY}, \cite{SUN},
\cite{LIandDU}, \cite{ZHANG} from $n=2$ to case of $n\geq2$. We show that
related results hold in arbitrary Banach spaces without assuming separability,
thus extending and improving recent results from \cite{WU}, \cite{WU2}. For the
lack of adjointness and orthogonality in Banach spaces, we use an adequate
alternative: the concept of inner generalized inverse.
