Yes people one thing!!!! Very important.
If you have a 4 port ethernet card in your nsm machine, make sure you have
ML02 (maint level) of AIX ready, it is only approx. 800 mb of size, so
extend your /usr filesystem.

You *must* apply this since you get an error of duplicate ipadresses and
arp resolve things.

The update is needed.

good luck

Peter

Brian,

Our company has a C00 NSM and just went through this EC three weeks
ago.  We had issues with the lmcp0 daemon not starting correctly, so we
had no communication to our 3494 (even though the 3590 drives were
online).  Also, our fast ethernet adapter somehow defaulted back to half
duplex which we didn't catch until the next day.  Other than that, our
biggest issue was that we weren't told up front that it was a destructive
os upgrade - they boot from their own mksysb tape and lay down a totally
new system.  We had alot of scripts and perf data that went up in
smoke.  Fortunately we were able to get them back from the our own mksysb
that we ran prior to the upgrade, but it was not much fun.  Other than
that, it went ok.

Hello,

Next week we will have the first upgrade of our NSM. It's a model C01, with
AIX 4.3.3 and TSM 4.1 and will be upgrade to AIX 5.1.0. and TSM 4.2.1.9

Because this is the first time, I was wondering if other NSM-sites will
share their experiences with me, and give me some tips and trics, or maybe a
kind of checklist/procedure.

Thanks in advance,

Brian.
