Ah yes, that makes sense.

Many thanks Bill. I think I'm now all set.

I would make sure all your disk pools have been migrated to tape, then take
the "necessary backups and precautions". I would also change my DSMSERV.OPT
to DISABLESCHEDS   YES so that when you bring up the 5.5 version for the
first time, nothing kicks off. Then verify things are good before turning it
back on. Less of a chance of something happening if you have to back off to
the previous release.

Hi all

Does anyone have a list of procedures to follow if needing to revert to a
previous version of TSM after an upgrade. I am running a single server
install with about 70 clients.

I'm going from 5.4 to 5.5 in the next couple of weeks, and though I don't
foresee any issue I need to make sure I'm prepared.

Of course, prior to the upgrade I will be taking all necessary backups and
precautions.

So, if I did need to revert what would the process be?


I'm thinking...

Stop and uninstall version 5.5 TIVsmS and TIVsmSlic.

Install version 5.4 and then patch as necessary (5.4.1.2 in this case).

Issue the 'dsmserv restore db' command (would I need to have replaced the
original vol hist file first?).

Start server

Re-register licenses.


What am I missing?

Regards

Farren Minns
