Hello Again, Since we are getting a new library we are also getting new server hardware and going to TSM 4.2.1 (5 will be later). Therefore, we have a 2 way upgrade (old software to new software, old server to new server).
I gave TSM support a call and asked what their recommended procedure was and I found out that they really don't have any, but the tech support guy who responded gave me a procedure that he says has worked for others. In our case, we need to upgrade the OS on the old server (still at 4.2.1) to 4.3.3. Do an update install of TSM on top of what we have now. Export the database after it has been transformed by the update/install to tape. Take the export tape and import it into the new server (along with the old tape libraries). Then migrate the data from the old library to the new library. Is this what others have done? I have seen snippets of other things being done, but usually it appears that server hardware remained the same. TIA for all of your comments. Marc =============================== Marc D.
