I have never done the remove/install procedure you are talking about.
Instead I typically just pop the new CD-ROM or launch the setup file if
I download it and perform an upgrade.  All of your existing node and
data will remain the same and you should not lose anything.

Subject: Upgrade 4.1.1 to 5.1.6.2


I'm gonna upgrade a TSM server from 4.1.1 to 5.1.6.x on a NT4 server.

I can see through the readme file and the Quick Start Guide that I
should remove the current 4.1.1 TSM installation, and install 5.1.0
/5.1.5 in the same directory (I was hoping that I could do an uppgrade
without moving the existing TSM software).

Is that all? Will all info about admins, nodes, storage pools remain and
show up in the new TSM server? Or should I do an export /import og such
information?

Anyone had any bad experience about this that I should know of?

Later I'm gonna move the TSM server from the NT4 box to a new physical
w2k server.......but I'll take one thing at a time.
