Excellent Information, thanks Ruth. However, I do have one question: in
both the install guide and the TSM server upgrade tech note (1177863),
they say to run the command "Cleanup Backupgroups" on TSM 5.1
before the
upgrade to 5.3, especially "if there are any Windows 2000 or higher
clients that backup up to the TSM server". I can't find this command
anywhere in TSM 5.1.9 server, and 75% of my clients are 2K or
higher, so
I'm stuck wanting to run a command I don't have!?!?

How do you know you don't have it? Have you tried running it? (If you
run 'Help CLEANUP BACKUPGROUPS', you won't see anything; there isn't a
help for it.)

Heh, that's funny, I assumed no help, no command. Silly me... It's running
right now.

By the way, I have another question, I am looking over my steps for a
migrate install from 5.1.9 to 5.3.1 in win2K server. I've got everything
worked out, except I don't understand how the TSM device drivers are going
to be installed. Are they included in the TSM 5.3.1 installer
(TSMSRV5310_WIN.exe), or do I need to downloaded another file that is the
5.3.1 device drivers?

Also, the migrate install instructions for 5.3.1 say to remove the old TSM
server via the Add/Remove programs, but what about the installed TSM 5.1.9
device drivers? Should I remove those too? Or is the 5.3.1 installer going
to do that for me?
