[ADSM-L] Antwort: Re: [ADSM-L] TSM 6 to 7 Upgrade questions

Hi John,

I would recommend to upgrade existing hw to desired version, backup SP DB, set up new system and restore DB. There might be additional challenges to migrate existing backup data on different volumes (disk, files, tapes) but for the DB this is an easy way to go.

Cheers
Markus

John, You may find some useful information at this link:https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.0/com.ibm.itsm.srv.install.doc/t_srv_upgrade.htmlAndrew >>> John Keyes <rakyr AT GMX DOT NET> 2017-10-19 6:15 AM >>> Hello, im planning to upgrade a clients TSM 6.3 server to TSM 7.1 on new hardware. However the documentation I found (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.3/srv.install/t_srv_upgrade63_71.html) only provides a way to make an in-place upgrade. But I need to move to new hardware. Is there a way to extract the database and import it on the new system, like it was for TSM 5 to 6 upgrade? Can i use the v5 dsmupgrd utilities to extract the TSM 6 database to Tape, and then TSM 7 dsmserv insertdb to import the database again? Best Regards, John
