The cleanup backupgroups is a new command that isn't around until V4.2.2.X. It specifically cleans up issues with Win2K system objects and TSM's failure to properly expire them.
It has been pointed out to me that it isn't required if you don't have the Win2K system object problem. This is true, however, it doesn't hurt to run it. If there is nothing to clean up then it will only run for a few minutes or even less. I did miss the fact that this e-mail was asking how to go from V4.1 to V5.1 and not from V4.2. If you have never been at V4.2 then I don't believe you need to run the cleanup. If you never backed up Win2K system objects then you don't have to run the cleanup. Sorry for any confusion this might have caused.

We are upgrading to the latest version of V4.X first. Then run the cleanup backupgroups command. Then upgrade to V5.1 base and then finally to V5.1.6.1. Running the cleanup command is supposed to reduce the time needed to upgrade the DB. Also, stay away from V5.1.5. Per APARS the upgrade DB on V5.1.5 takes excessively long and that time was reduce by changes made in V5.1.6.

We are going to go to maint level 4.3.3.10 then apply the TSM 5.1. Are there any problems or procedures that we should look at first? Will the database from tsm 4.1 convert over to tsm 5.1 or are their special procedures to follow? Can someone who went thru this process help?
