Hello, I would really appreciate some advice on how to proceed with an upgrade we are planning.
Currently, we are running TSM version 3.7.5 on an Ultra 10/Solaris 7 Our plans are to upgrade to 5.1.x on a Sun Ultra Enterprise 2/Solaris 8. I am currently trying to figure out if it would be easier to upgrade the current 3.7.5 server to 5.1 which will automatically convert everything to 5.1 and then move the newly converted database and other needed files to the new server which would have 5.1 already installed and running on it. Or, would it be easier to restore the 3.7.5 database from tape to the newly configured 5.1 server and run an UPGRADEDB command to bring the database up to the current level? If the second path is the best, does the database have to have the same physical path on the disk as the first server? And are the registered nodes, users, volumes and automated commands stored in a file which can be easily transferred to the new machine? Thank you for any help you can give. -john _________________________________________________________________ John N.
