I've done this in two steps: 3.1.2.x to 3.7.x and then to 4.1. I believe we
tested the jump from 3.1.2.x to 4.1 directly and had some problems but I
haven't been able to prove that and I haven't tested it myself.
There is a directory path change but the installation procedure will
probably fix that up for you. I know it did on Solaris.
Standard drill: ensure you have all the information necessary for a disaster
recovery: db backup, know where it is, devconfig file, volhist file, etc.
Plan, Plan, Plan. When I did this on a Solaris box (only to 3.7) I planned
for two hours and upgrade took 20 minutes. I think if I had planned for 20
minutes I'd still be working on the upgrade!

Subject: Upgrade from ADSM to TSM 4.1
We still have a large system using ADSM 3.1 and want to upgrade to TSM 4.1.
Is the upgrade path from 3.1 to 4.1 much different than the path from 3.1 to
3.7?
We are using:
AIX Server
Sun Solaris 2.6 clients
ADSM Space Management (HSM)
Veritas filesystem on clients (v.3.3.2)
Thanks
