Hi Dennis, I suggest if possible upgrading your old server to a minimum of version 6.3 then retry the migration, then both databases are full DB2. Many people had issues going from 5.x straight to version 7 and had much more success by first upgrading the old server.
Also, if possible I would use the "new server network method". It eliminates the complexities that a tape library adds to the process. Hope this helps.... -Rick Adamson -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Schneck, Dennis Sent: Wednesday, August 02, 2017 3:24 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Migrate from TSM Server 5.5.7 on Windows to TSM Server 7.1.7 on Linux - the unsupported way because exportdb --> insertdb did not work Hello, how to migrate from TSM Server 5.5.x on Windows to TSM Server 7.1.7 on Linux ( only one tape library ) ? because my way ( see 2nd ) is not supported 1st I tryed: ( exportdb --> insertdb ) VM1: TSM 5.5.7 on Windows and VM2: TSM 7.1.7 on Windows VM1: restore backup from productive System. install UpgradeTool VM2: migrate on VM2 with dsmupgdx from VM1 then I had TSM 7.1.7 running.
