Subject: TSM Upgrade to 5.2 from TSM 4.2 on an AIX 5.1 Server


Hello,
    I try to get these info from IBM but they say they could not help me
unless I run into problems while doing it.  Could you help?

Are they any documents in how to install TSM 5.1.7.3? We have window
clients. Do I install TSM 5.1 base and then apply maintenances?
     environment:
     AIX 5.1 TSM 4.2.1.9 server
     IBM H50
     359x Library & 4 3590 tape drives

Also in my case with a cloned rootvg, could I do the db backup as follows:
      backup db type=full devclass=3590
      backup devconfig filename=devconfig.date
      backup volhistory filename=volhistory.date

Where do I get the backup tape volser, from the activity log?
How do I eject this backup tape from the library? We have 349x library and
drives.

And if I need to back out from the migration, could I just do a restore of
this backup tape by
issuing:
     dsmserv restore db volumes=volser(from the backup) devclass=3590
commit=yes

I need to write up a plan for our migration. Please advise.
                                                        Thanks,
                                                             Helen Tam
