Hi

Its simple

- take the backup of tsm database ( can be useful to revert back in case of
any probelm during upgradation )

- Prepare the document on how to revert back to 4.2.1

- Note the base directories of the existing TSM

- uninstall TSM 4.2.1

- Install TSM 5.1 ( upgrade db will run automatically during upgradation )
   Specify the same base directories as noted above when prompted

- login as admin

- take the TSM database backup.

Its not must to upgrade the clients to 5.1. If you want to make use  new
features of TSM 5.1 client ( Check the readme files)
upgrade to 5.1 clients.


( You can find more information on quick start pdf)

Hi TSMers,

Please can you assist me. How can I go about upgrading my tsm server from
4.2.1 to 5.1 without any glitches ?

Our config is as follows:-

TSM server              : 4.2.1
O/S                     : Windows NT4 SP6a
Devices                 : Magstar 3570 library, IBM 3583 (L18) library

Would I also have to upgrade my clients at the same time ?

Thank you for your assistance.
