For our last upgrade to 5.4 we ran expiration on the "test" upgrade and a few backups and restores without giving access to the real data. Once upgraded we ran a backup, restore with fresh data and a restore with "upgraded" data.
Our last upgrade we ran into a problem during reclaim (fixed with a patch), but we have not figured out a way to test that without endangering the data.

I've already tested this upgrade on my test machine, and it worked fine. This absence of any problem made me even a bit suspicious. :-) My questions: - Which kind of tests would you recommend performing before you'd declare a new TSM version 'ready for production'? I've read Technote 1196013 and the relevant section in ADSM.QuickFacts. Performing a simple backup and restore from different clients worked fine, LAN-free is not used. - Do you know of any pitfalls in 5.5.1.0 or should it be safe to use on the server?
