Using the "new hardware network" upgrade process the upgrade basically prepares 
the V6 database on the new server, exports the information from the V5 database 
and imports it into the new V6 one. The old V5 database remains untouched.

Be sure to disable all scheduled tasks beforehand on the old server, such as 
maintenance, migration, expiration, reclaims, as well as disable client access 
so no data on the old server will change during the upgrade.

After the upgrade completes shut down the TSM Server service on the old server. 
Once you verify the new server is operating optimally and begins performing 
production backups it can be decommissioned.

If things go south the old server just bring it back online. (assuming it has 
access to all of its original devices (disk storage, library, etc.).
