Hi George

I am soon to be doing the very same upgrade. I'm running TSM Server 3.7.3.8
on a Solaris box.

Did you go directly from 3.7.x.x to 4.1.x.x and what exact patch level did
you upgrade to?

Also, I know this has been questioned before, but I'm a little confused
about the problems people were having with the licenses. Unfortunately for
me, I was not present when our TSM server was set up and I did not see the
licenses being set up.

Sorry for being such a novice.

Thanks ever so much

I saved off all config files, the accounting log and a bunch of other
things. I backed up the db and was ready for the worst. I needed nothing...
it was very straightforward. The licesnse files need to be installed
properly. I would highly recommend latest ATAPE driver and that is about
it. I didn't need any of the stuff I had saved off... no config changes at
all when upgrade was complete... only had to redo licensing.

On AIX 4.3.3. Any notes you have would be great. We are running an IBM 3494
Librairy with 3590 drivers.

What OS?
I just did some 3.7.4 to 4.2.x for AIX.

It's pretty straightforward for the server code itself, but watch out for
changes in the startup scripts if you use an externally managed library.
