We're looking at moving from 5.3.2.0 in the next six weeks; we've got a
new TS3500 on the floor with LTO-4 drives we need to support.

We'll be knocking together a test server in a few days, validating it,
and then upgrading it. Then we'll do what testing we can (our problems
have historically been throughput/volume related, and I can't get enough
of either in a test environment) and upgrade the primary server.

Then we'll start checking out the new library in test, followed by
adding it as a second library to the production system and migrating to
it over a three-week period.

If nothing breaks.

So far, I'm PO'd that IBM/Tivoli no longer provides a documentation CD
(the last one was for TSM 5.3) and I've had to pull down the pdf format
manuals. A pointer to the infocenter web site is NOT acceptable
documentation; one of my mandates is to have all such documentation
available for reference during D/R without an internet connection.

Subject: TSM v5.5 feedback: problems? plusses?

Just wanted to know if anyone's made the jump. We just got in a new
server
and will be moving from v5.3.1.2 to either 5.4 or 5.5. Just wanted to
know
what your thoughts were on migrating?

 

God bless you!!!
