hi All,

I have done upgradation from 4.1.x.x to 5.1.x.x may times but I never faced
any problems so far, In Quick Start Guide they clearly mentioned the steps
to upgrade, Suppose for example if we face any problem while up gradation
from 4.1.x.x to 5.1.x.x then what is correct procedure to back out to
previous version in this case 4.1.x.x (we have to uninstall as up gradation
procedure) that means we have to freshly reinstall 4.1.x.x and restore the
database is it right procedure to backout or any other steps be carried out.


Waiting for your valuable suggestions on this.

Thanks,

We just upgraded from 4.2.2 to 5.1.5.1 Sunday evening.  It went very
smooth.    One thing I haven't seen mentioned in anyone elses feedback is
the license file.
You should print off a copy of your current license file before you
upgrade.  Once you perform the upgrade, the license info is lost and you
will need to rebuild it.
Another suggestion that support gave me before we started the upgrade is to
not only perform a data base backup, but before that, clean out all of the
DISK storage pools.   They also suggested to backup the volhist and the
devconf, then copy them to another location, just in case you have
problems.

I'm gonna upgrade a TSM server from 4.1.1 to 5.1.6.x on a NT4 server.

I can see through the readme file and the Quick Start Guide that I should
remove the current 4.1.1 TSM installation, and install 5.1.0 /5.1.5 in the
same directory (I was hoping that I could do an uppgrade without moving the
existing TSM software).

Is that all? Will all info about admins, nodes, storage pools remain and
show up in the new TSM server?
Or should I do an export /import og such information?

Anyone had any bad experience about this that I should know of?

Later I'm gonna move the TSM server from the NT4 box to a new physical w2k
server.......but I'll take one thing at a time.


Regards
Sylvia Nergård
