If you have current maintenance agreement it is just a download. If not
(or your maintenance is expired) - you have to pay.

STUPID QUESTION..
Do you have to pay for the upgrade or is it just a download?

Thanks,
Marc

We just went from TSM Server 4.1.3 to 5.1.1.6
You do not need to stop at 4.2 along the way.

Here's the conceptual overview of what we did -- obviously, tailor it
for your environment:

1) stop TSM from doing anything (disable sessions, nomigrrecl,
disablesched)
2) delete SYSTEM OBJECT (helps speed up cleanup backupgroups later on)
3) full db backup
4) stop TSM Server
5) copy dsmserv.opt, dsmserv.dsk, volhist, devconfig to a safe place
6) install new version from CD
7) patch to 5.1.1.6 (Tivoli website)
8) reboot
9) start TSM (again w/ disable sessions, nomigrrecl, disablesched)
10) cleanup backupgroups
13) restart TSM (sessions enabled, uncomment nomigrrecl/disablesched)

* "nomigrrecl" & "disablesched yes" should be put in the dsmserv.opt

p.s. We actually did one further step and deleted library and drive
devices in both TSM as well as on AIX level. When redefining on TSM
level, there is a new "define path" command that has to be done after
each "define library" and "define drive" (which both change slightly
in syntax too).
