Subject: Upgrade time...


I could use a little help.  I am at TSM Win 4.2.3.1 on my server and need to
upgrade to 5.2 or so.  Probably to 5.2.2.3.

I have a 3583 with LTO1's, all freshly upgraded to current microcode a week
or two ago.



Any special gotcha's I should look for?



>>From what I have skimmed (I would say read, but I know I miss stuff),  it
looks like:



Do an un-install of the TSM device driver.

Do an un-install of the TSM server.

Install the new versions of both.



This seems to simple.  Are there any conversion utilities I should use?
Special commands to clean up the database? Etc? etc?



Just not wanting to miss anything.
