DB backup on 6.2 - restore db on 6.3

[TiborB]

Hi,

As a part of upgrade of TSM 6.2. - 6.3 I am testing a backup scenario: loading db backup made in v. 6.2.5 to v. 6.3. First of all - is something like this even possible?

In case this path is supported, here is what I get:

dsmserv -u *** -i *** -noexpire restore db todate=today totime=02:00  preview=yes
ANR4591I Selected backup series 3371 from 02/24/14 and 02:05:00 as best candidate available for restore database processing.
ANR4592I Restore database backup series 3371 includes eligible operation 0 with volume /backup/93203902.DBV having sequence 1 and using device class DC_BACKUP.
ANR4592I Restore database backup series 3371 includes eligible operation 0 with volume /backup/93205305.DBV having sequence 4 and using device class DC_BACKUP.
ANR4592I Restore database backup series 3371 includes eligible operation 0 with volume /backup/93204481.DBV having sequence 2 and using device class DC_BACKUP.
ANR4592I Restore database backup series 3371 includes eligible operation 0 with volume /backup/93205250.DBV having sequence 3 and using device class DC_BACKUP.
ANR4596E Restore database is unable to validate the selected database backup for series 3371 and operation 0 against the actual data from the database backup stream.
ANR4602E No volumes found for TODATE 02/25/14 02:00:00.
ANR4624I Preview processing for a database restore operation has completed.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi,

this is not possible.

The restore operation must be done by a Tivoli Storage Manager server at a code
level that is the same a that on the server that was backed up.
