We recently went from 4.1.6 to 5.1.7.  The readme in 5.1.7 stated there were 
significant upgrade db perf in 5.1.7 and if you are upgrading from 4.x go to 
5.1.7 then install lic from 5.1.x base.  This worked really well for us, your 
other procedures are good as well. (Backup db etc)

Hello,
    I try to get these info from IBM but they say they could not help me
unless I run into problems while doing it.  Could you help?

Are they any documents in how to install TSM 5.1.7.3? We have window
clients. Do I install TSM 5.1 base and then apply maintenances?
     environment:
     AIX 5.1 TSM 4.2.1.9 server
     IBM H50
     359x Library & 4 3590 tape drives

Also in my case with a cloned rootvg, could I do the db backup as follows:
      backup db type=full devclass=3590
      backup devconfig filename=devconfig.date
      backup volhistory filename=volhistory.date

Where do I get the backup tape volser, from the activity log?
How do I eject this backup tape from the library? We have 349x library and
drives.

And if I need to back out from the migration, could I just do a restore of
this backup tape by
issuing:
     dsmserv restore db volumes=volser(from the backup) devclass=3590
commit=yes

I need to write up a plan for our migration. Please advise.
                                                        Thanks,
                                                             Helen Tam
