Hi TSM Server v6.1.5.0 On Windows 2008
I have a need to upgrade TSM to v6.3.3 On the same physical host, no problem, straight forward The current host is 32-bit, so we will move TSM onto a new physical host with more memory and of course it will be 64-bit to support TSM v6.3. Can't get away from this as the customer has already purchased the hardware. My question: IBM have a documented migration path from v5 to v6, running on a different physical host. There is also the v6-v6 upgrade path on the same host. Have performed both without issues. But are there any special requirements for v6-v6 across different hosts? I was thinking either: 1) Install v6.1 on the new host, then upgrade to v6.3 or 2) Build v6.3 on the new host, then restore a v6.1 database backup down onto v6.3, if that is possible. I remember doing something similar in v5, where the DR server was a higher v5 than the production server. TSM warned me when i restored the database, but was happy to run the restore. I guess the the other thing to consider is moving the library connectivity from the old to the new host. Comments/Thoughts welcome
