The cleanup backupgroups is a new command that isn't around until
V4.2.2.X.  It specifically cleans up issues with Win2K system objects
and TSM's failure to properly expire them.

It has been pointed out to me that it isn't required if you don't have
the Win2K system object problem.  This is true, however, it doesn't hurt
to run it.  If there is nothing to clean up then it will only run for a
few minutes or even less.  I did miss the fact that this e-mail was
asking how to go from V4.1 to V5.1 and not from V4.2.  If you have never
been at V4.2 then I don't believe you need to run the cleanup.  If you
never backed up Win2K system objects then you don't have to run the
cleanup.

Sorry for any confusion this might have caused.

Kyle

What were these "Clean Up Commands"?

Thanks

If this was already posted then sorry but...
We are upgrading to the latest version of V4.X first.  Then run the
cleanup backupgroups command.  Then upgrade to V5.1 base and then
finally to V5.1.6.1.  Running the cleanup command is supposed to reduce
the time needed to upgrade the DB.  Also, stay away from V5.1.5.  Per
APARS the upgrade DB on V5.1.5 takes excessively long and that time was
reduce by changes made in V5.1.6.

One other note I forgot to mention.  When we did the Upgrade via SMIT,
it installed the new TSM code but did not run the Upgrade DB portion.  I
spoke to Tivoli Tech and they stated you have to manually run ./dsmserv
upgrade db...

I went straight from 4.1 to 5.1.1.6.  The database conversion ran as
part of the install....

Are there any gotcha's from converting from TSM 4.1 to TSM 5.1? We are
going to go to maint level 4.3.3.10 then apply the TSM 5.1. Are there
any problems or procedures that we should look at first? Will the
database from tsm 4.1 convert over to tsm 5.1 or are their special
procedures to follow? Can someone who went thru this process help?
