Re: Upgrade 5.1 to 5.3 on new server
There's several ways you could do this migration, but the way I would do it is: 1. upgrade the old server to TSM 5.3, after backing up the DB of course. I wouldn't bother putting the ISC on the old box at this time, it's not needed to get TSM up to 5.3. Note - The last upgrade of TSM from 5.1 to 5.3 on AIX I performed took upwards of 8 hours for a 40GB database - lots of database changes that it needs to deal with between 5.1 and 5.3. 2. Export the database 3. install 5.3 (and the ISC) on the new server and import the database. You could do a DB backup/restore, but the export/import will give you a nicer, cleaner, friendlier database at the end of the day. You could move to the new server on 5.1 and *then* upgrade TSM to 5.3 afterwards, but then you have the whole ugliness of unistalling/installing new code, etc. Personally, I like doing it as clean on the new server as possible later, Paul - Original Message - From: "Dirk Kastens" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Monday, August 08, 2005 9:05 AM Subject: [ADSM-L] Upgrade 5.1 to 5.3 on new server Hi, we're running TSM 5.1 on AIX 5.1.

Re: Upgrade 5.1 to 5.3 on new server
Hi, I'm answering in reverce order: 2. You can restore DB only on the same type of Hardware (windows DB can be restored on Windows machine, AIX on AIX and etc.) 1. You can export and inport data and I think that this is good idea. You can make it in 2 ways. First - export to tapes and then import... The second way is to make export from server directly to other server. In second case , I'm sure that both servers must be in same levels.
