Hi all, I've done an upgrade yesterday on a test environment from 6.3.4 to 7.1 (AIX 7.1 TL2). Had to struggle a bit with the install.sh script because the graphical version didn't work (and didn't bother to investigate it further) so switched to the console mode.
The latter was a bit confusing the first time and had to restart it twice because some file systems (/tmp, /var and /opt) hadn't enough free space. Don't understand why 2 GB is required in /tmp, would have been nice if you could provide another temporary location with enough space. But one hour later I was up and running in the test environment with TSM 7.1, the database is rather small (3 GB). Did the upgrade mainly to test the new features of the operations center, but then the spoke servers also need to be on 7.1 to use all of them. And to see if any new bugs or (un)documented new features show up. The new database version DB2 10.5 is significantly better than 9.7 (which is good too for the record), so let's hope TSM benefits from this too. I will wait for 7.1.1 also prior to upgrading the other TSM servers. Regards, Kurt -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] Namens Sergio O.

I haven't applied the .300 fixpack yet, but will do so soon. I'm waiting for 7.1.1 because of this APAR: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IC97618 It says in there that that APAR is not fixed in 7.1.0 (only at 7.1.1). I have worked a bit on the 7.1.0 TSM for VE, but the installer was difficult to work with in our environment. Finally got it working, but only after stopping the installer after it said something had failed (don't know what, the logging is atrocious). I also had issues configuring it, but it looks like a lot of it had to do with underlying permission issues. Thanks!
