As the install would need to know the device files for drives as seen
from the StoargeAgent host to define the paths, I would expect that the
upgrade will not do the conversion for you. The DRIVE definitions are
still required by TSM and they will be kept... so that saves a little
bit of typing?!

Subject: TSM 4.2.4 -> 5.2.4

I'm looking at a AIX server upgrade from TSM 4.2.4 to 5.2.4 with TSM EE
and TSM for SAN.  All clients are AIX or Linux.  The ilbrary is a 3584
with 4 LTO1 drives. Anything to watch out for?

Does the upgrade automatically convert DRIVE definitions into
PATH/DRIVE definitions or do the PATH defs have to be added manually?
