0. (!) cease operations and backup the DB
1. upgrade old server to ITSM 5.1.5
2. backup the upgraded DB
3. attach the library to new server
4. restore DB from the library (it might be necessary to play with library
definition)
Continue business as usual

Hi,

Currently, I have TSM 4.1.4 running on AIX 4.3.3 using a STK tape
library. Next month, I need to move TSM to another AIX server(Running
5L) and would like to upgrade TSM to 5.1.5 at the same time, using the
existing STK tape library.  Can anyone give me some pointers the best
ways to accomplish this task. If I install TSM 5.1.5 on the new server,
how can I get the new server to recognize the old tapes in the tape
library, especially the database backup tape that I am going to use for
the restore?

Thanks
