That is correct. All of my TSM servers have their DB/LOGS on internal mirrored drives. Only SAN connection on most of my TSM servers are for tape drives. Two years was the first time we connected EMC SAN storage to two of my Linux TSM servers (I was the "guinea pig" since we never did this before) and it was an adventure.
Since the extract is only 40GB, I could do that on the V5.5 server but I didn't see a way to tell the upgrade GUI to skip to the import step. My testing (on a slow test system) showed it should take less than 6-hours so I am doing it this Friday. I might try the "network method" folks seem to prefer.
