Hi fello TSM'ers,
I need the advice of my fellow Backup admins :)
With TSM 5.5 nearing EOL support and my customer going the Exchange 2010 the
hand has finally been forced to go with TSM 6.x
My current setup;
Server: w2k3
TSM version 5.5.6 - I have about 60 servers being backed all windows
This is how we did our v5-v6 migration, with the exception that we
actually did fresh backups for some of our larger clients due to the
amount of time required to run EXPORT NODE. Basically our procedure was:
1. Stand up a new TSM server as a library client to the old one (with

Hi Jerome,
What is the current size of the TSM database ? If it's moderate, it's far
simpler and faster to do an upgrade following one of the methods presented in
the upgrade guide.
I'll really advise you to do this.

Erwann

One of the worrying things about the upgrade process is that it's not
really possible to know how long it will take to convert the v5 DB to
DB2. This is why we setup new TSM servers, so that we could control the
size of the outage better (that and the old TSM server hardware was
ready to be
It was strongly dependent on the number of files in each node filespace.
Anything with more than 3 million or so files we did using a fresh
incremental backup rather than an export, because those tended to take
more than a day to perform.

I should add the old v5.5 TSM server had some poorly-spec'd DB disks, so
the DB was definitely a bottleneck. If you have decent DB disks, then
you might be OK. The nice thing with the exports is that you can cancel
them and then run an incremental if you need to.

One other thing to consider during the upgrade is how you rollback in
the case that you run into some serious bug w/ v6. With the in-place
upgrade you need to restore the TSM database before you're back in
business (I've done this before - it works, but is a little harrowing).
If you bring up a
of that.

Hi Grigori,
It is generally advised to use IBM TS3500 emulation for the library instead STK
L180 when using it with TSM.
Defining the VTL and drives to TSM is quite common (define library, define
path, define drive
