Re: TSM Upgrade from 4.1 to 5.x questions
Are there any issues with upgrading from TSM Server V4.1.2 to version 5.1.x? Or do we have to upgrade to 4.2.x first? Also, what is the best version to upgrade to? 5.1.5, 5.1.6.2 or something else? We are running on AIX 4.3.3 ML 10. Thanks in advance! Steven A. Conko Senior Unix Systems Administrator ADT Security Services, Inc.
Re: TSM Upgrade from 4.1 to 5.x questions
We went straight from 4.1.2 to 5.1.5 with no stop at 4.2.x and few if any problems. We were at AIX 4.3.3 ML 9 -Original Message- From: Conko, Steven [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2003 10:08 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TSM Upgrade from 4.1 to 5.x questions Are there any issues with upgrading from TSM Server V4.1.2 to version 5.1.x?

Re: TSM Upgrade from 4.1 to 5.x questions
Steven, We just upgraded a few weeks ago (AIX 4.3.3) and we were told by support, to go from 4.2.1 to 5.1.0 to 5.1.5. Make sure you do not start the server until you've completed installing 5.1.5. You will have to reset your license file(s) as well.

Re: TSM Upgrade from 4.1 to 5.x questions
I'll throw in our experience if it helps anyone. We just upgraded from 4.2.0 to 5.1.6.1 on W2K. We were using subfile backups at 4.2.0 and these were not expiring properly. This was fixed at 5.1.5.x when I did a test migration to it. When doing a test migration to 5.1.6.1 we found that there was a problem trying to recover any subfile backups - client got an error (Error 8 getting backup row for object XXX). The process we followed which seems to have worked was: Upgrade to 4.2.3.3 - run expiration twice (cleans up sub file backups). Upgrade to 5.1.0.0 Upgrade to 5.1.1.0 Upgrade to 5.1.6.2 Redo licences at 5.1.6.1. Not sure if we needed to go to 5.1.0.0 and 5.1.1.0 before 5.1.6.1 (couldn't we just install 5.1.6.1 then install licences from a 5.1.5 base version?) but this was according to the readmes.

Re: TSM Upgrade from 4.1 to 5.x questions
We got bit by the Systemobject expiration problem and when I went from 4.2.1 to 5.1.0.0 it failed. TSM server wouldn't even start. Gave me ANR messages about unable to convert objects. I had to D/R my system back to 4.2.1, upgraded to 4.2.3.3 and ran the CLEANUP BACKUPGROUPS. Took 14-hours, but freed up almost 34% in my database. Then I went to 5.1.0.0 and applied the latest patch. I'm now up to 5.1.6.3 with the only problem being the formatting of the Q PROCESS output with the ~'s and no line-feeds. I would say if you aren't backing up any Win2k servers, you could go straight up to 5.1.x. Bill Boyer I haven't lost my mind -- it's backed up on tape somewhere. - ??? -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Rushforth, Tim Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2003 12:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TSM Upgrade from 4.1 to 5.x questions I'll throw in our experience if it helps anyone.

Re: TSM Upgrade from 4.1 to 5.x questions
We have upgraded TSM server code from 3.7, 4.1, and 4.2 to 5.1.0 with no problems. Then it would let us go to 5.1.3. You do have to redefine your licenses.

Re: TSM Upgrade from 4.1 to 5.x questions
When everyone is mentioning redefining licenses are you referring to the client licenses defined on the TSM server? If so, does anyone know if this is done on all TSM server platforms? I am upgrading from 4.1.5 to 5.1.6 this weekend and the TSM server is on OS/390 2.10. Thanks!

Look for the //OPT DD card.

Yes, that happens here too, both with 5.1.6.2 and 5.1.6.3 (AIX 433 ML 10). The filesets were installed with the correct option (Install and Update from ALL available software). It's not everywhere that linefeeds are missing, and it's only a very minor cosmetic problem. -- Jurjen Oskam PGP Key available at http://www.stupendous.org/
