My bad, all Oracle log files are backup objects to TSM unless a special archive process is used. I used the TDP to backup the log files straight to TSM, to reduce local disk needs on the client. The databases were sent to flat-file on the local disk. However, the same logic should work for the l

I think we have it right - the upgrade utilities are installed on the v5 server as you say. >lpar A - tsm v5 db (source) upgrade utilities installed >lpar B - tsm v6 system (destination) new v6 server running dsmupgdx successfully finds dsmserv.opt/dsmserv.dsk o
