Hi Farren,
Downgarding? You cant if you dont have an DB backup that was taken in the
earlier format, 5.1.6.2.
I´m not so sure what you are trying to do but...in short. Do:
Solaris 7, 5.1.6.2
Migrate all data from disk stgpools and backup DB.
Halt
Restore Db to the new server, Solaris 9, 5.1.6.2
Connect libraries etc.
Define new disk stgpools
Verfy and test.
If not OK fall back to the old solution.
If OK
Next week, upgrade to Solaris 9, 5.2.2.7
And yes, format new volumes before you restore your DB.
Secondly, dont do everything att the same time ie upgrade TSM and change your
hardware.

Hi all
This Saturday I will finally be moving from an on Solaris 7 server (TSM
5.1.6.2) to a new Solaris 9 (TSM 5.2.2.7) one.
My question this time regards downgrading from 5.2.2.7 to 5.1.6.2 should I need
to. Do I need to physically remove any existing dB and log volumes as well as
un-install the software and then re-format them? Or, once I have installed
5.1.6.2 again, can I just issue a dsmserv restore db command and it will
happily use the space previously used by 5.2.2.7? >From the documentation it
says to 'Reinitialize any database and recovery log volumes ' which I'm
assuming means to remove and reformat.
Thanks
Farren
