Wanda, If I understand you correctly I have done this but was from/to the same version (ver. 5 for Windows) during a hardware replacement project.
-Old server and instance name was tsm1. -Built a new server and named the server tsm1_new and the tsm instance tsm1. -Renamed the tsm instance on the old server to tsm1_old using set servername. -Added a DNS record to redirect server traffic for tsm1 to tsm1_new. -Migrated clients and data. -Retired the old server -Renamed the tsm1_new server to tsmb1. -Reverted DNS record. Everything worked fine Hope this help answer your question. ~Rick Adamson Jackxonville, FL -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Prather, Wanda Sent: Wednesday, May 11, 2011 10:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ADSM-L] Question about "Hybrid" method upgrade to TSM V6.2.2 and server-to-server export I am planning to do some upgrades using the "hybrid" method. The V5.5 server will be shut down, the DB extracted, and the V5.5 server will be brought back up and clients will run backups while we load the DB into 6.2. Then the V5.5 server will be disabled for client sessions, and an incremental export/import used to get the backup inventory in sync with 6.2, then clients will be cut over to the 6.2 server via a DNS change. Here's the question: The description of the "hybrid" method assumes that you will do the incremental export to media. I'd rather use server-to-server. I can't set up the server-to-server communication while the server names (the TSM server name, not the host name) are the same. Any reason I can't get around that by doing a SET SERVERNAME V55SERVERNAME_OLD on the V55 server, once all client sessions are cancelled? I know that causes havoc with Windows clients, but they should never be connecting to the old server again. Any suggestions/anybody tried this?
