We just upgraded from 4.2.2 to 5.1.5.1 Sunday evening. It went very smooth. One thing I haven't seen mentioned in anyone elses feedback is the license file. You should print off a copy of your current license file before you upgrade. Once you perform the upgrade, the license info is lost and you will need to rebuild it. Another suggestion that support gave me before we started the upgrade is to not only perform a data base backup, but before that, clean out all of the DISK storage pools. They also suggested to backup the volhist and the devconf, then copy them to another location, just in case you have problems.

I can see through the readme file and the Quick Start Guide that I should remove the current 4.1.1 TSM installation, and install 5.1.0 /5.1.5 in the same directory (I was hoping that I could do an uppgrade without moving the existing TSM software). Is that all? Will all info about admins, nodes, storage pools remain and show up in the new TSM server? Or should I do an export /import og such information? Anyone had any bad experience about this that I should know of? Later I'm gonna move the TSM server from the NT4 box to a new physical w2k server.......but I'll take one thing at a time.
