I just want to run this by the forum to see if there is a better way of moving my old TSM 6.3.5.1 on Redhat 5.8 to a new TSM 7.1.5 server running Redhat 7.2.
As everyone knows, restoring TSM DB from one TSM version to another is not possible. Thus the only way is to do 'export server' using server-to-server method.
What I am thinking to do:
- is build the new TSM 7.1.5 on Redhat 7.2
- run 'export server filedata=all ...' from the old to the new TSM servers (this command transfers all filedata information from the old to the new)
- once all is done, swing the back end data storage (which in my case are Data Domains) over to the new server, rename the new TSM to the old TSM server and let the nodes start backing up
Does this sound right?
Caveats:
- TSM 6.3.5.1 cannot be installed on Redhat 7.2 - IBM does not support this
- I cannot upgrade the old TSM 6.3.5.1 to run on Redhat 6.x - Redhat does not support an upgrade in place
If only I can install 6.3.5.1 on Redhat 7.2, a restore of the TSM 6.3.5.1 DB is possible and then update to TSM 7.1.5.
