We did this twice last month.

- Upgraded original server to 5.1
- Installed new server with TSM 5.1
- Created identical disk layout on new server
- Stopped TSM on original server
- Copied all disk/file pools, DB, and log volumes to the new server
- Started TSM on new server.

ps. to prevent problems with device-numbering, you can delete the
drives/library on the old server, before you copy all the data.

Subject: Version Upgrade Question


Platform:  Win2K
Notes:  4mm DAT, no library, 15GB catalog, two clients, all UNIX backups-no
special databases, no archives

What:  Upgrade from 4.2 to 5.2 on a different machine with same disk and
tape
configuration.

Is there a "tapeless" way to do this?  The new hardware is ready and in
place,
the software will be installed.  All tape and disk devices and volumes are
the
same.  I just want to move everything to the new 5.2 server.

Would it be easier to clone the 4.2 system and do an upgrade in place?  If
so,
what would be the process for cloning a system?
