As an added fyi, my upgrade of 2 out of 4 tsm (6.3.3) servers to 7.1 went very
well, and the new Ops Center is performing as expected from my earlier lab
testing.
I do wish that I can override some or most of the thresholds, it
is not a priority but would be an added feature. For example under Storage
Devices, I have critical alerts due to 1 available directory. We use XIV
attached LUN's, and they can handle a very heavy load, it would be nice to be
able to override this, but it is not show stopper by an means.
There are two items I encountered when upgrading. The first was
easy to resolve, and it had to do with TSM being shipped with a free trial of
DB2 Connect. The license expires, and needs to be removed/re-registered.

The other problem I wasn't able to overcome was when running the
install gui. During the pre-check it will verify the instance credentials, in
my case it is loading ".\tsminst1" and there is no way to change it. The
correct id name is just "tsminst1". I'll will open a ticket tomorrow with
support.
So far the upgrade is going very smooth, and as planned.
