Re: Upgrade time...
First, going up to TSM 5.2 version will require you to upgrade the Ultrium drivers. Assuming you're using IBM LTO drives. In previous releases the Ultrium drives were controlled via the native driver, but the library was controlled via the ADSMSCSI driver. This changes...the library is now controlled via the native device driver. You need to make sure that you update the driver for the medium changer or TSM won't initialize the library. As with all Windows TSM versions, you must first uninstall before installing the new version. There is a problem with the uninstall for the TSM Server Licenses. The license file DLL is not deleted. This prevents the install from working. Just delete or rename the ADSMLICN.DLL in the C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\server directory after the uninstall. During the install it should(!) recognize your instance and perform the UPGRADE DB. Be patient! Depending on your platform and DB size it could take a while. After the upgrade (and you should probably go to the latest 5.2.3.x release) you will have to re-register your licenses. Upgrades do not preserve this. You can get this from your DRM recovery plan file or Autovault whichever you use. Or just QUERY LICENSE and write it all down. As always before you start this...BACKUP YOUR DATABASE!
