OK, so here is the summary and what worked.
First, define your devconfig file in dsmserv.opt file (discussed earlier). Basically, search for "DEVCONF" within dsmserv.opt and follow the example. Second, define your db and log file/s (dsmfmt commands below). Next, format your log and db files, this will write/update your dsmserv.dsk file. Next, do your db restore. Furthermore, TSM wants to run a full db backup before upgradedb, disable dbbackuptrigger and set logmode to normal. Finally, perform the "dsmserv upgradedb" to do the upgrade.
IMPORANT NOTE:
You will need to execute the "dsmserv" command in your TSM installation directory, ie. cd into /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin and perform "dsmserv <command>" in the installed directory.
# dsmfmt -m -db /tsmdb/data02/db1.dsm 100000
# dsmfmt -m -log /tsmlog/log/log1.dsm 12000
# dsmserv format 1 /tsmlog/log/log1.dsm 1 /tsmdb/data02/db1.dsm
# dsmserv restore db devclass=tempfiles volume=/tsmdb/data01/37841493.dbb,37844485.dbb,37846256.dbb commit=yes
# dsmadmc
tsm> set logmode normal
tsm> delete dbbackuptrigger
tsm> halt
# dsmserv upgradedb
I received many errors for upgradedb and this is due to limited setup parameters (storage, LTO path, etc.) on the new server. Observe for message similar to the below for a successful db upgrade.
ANR2803I License manager started.
ANR0129I Database upgrade completed successfully.
ANR2560I Schedule manager started.
Thank you everyone for your help, especially Aaron/heada.
