TSM 5.1.6.2 on Solaris 2.7 - moving to 5.2.7.0 on Solaris 2.9

Hi all

Regarding Anton's check list below, I have a couple of questions.

1) Do I really need to delete and redefine the drives,libray,paths etc? I
understand that I will need to update the /dev/rmt/??? entry for the drives
to make sure they reflect how the drives are viewed on the new system. But
apart from that things should in my mind be exactly the same as before. As
far as the library is concerned, it's just an alias in the ibmatl.conf file
anyway and I know that works as I can use the mtlib command to interrogate
it. Am I missing something?

and...

2) Do I really need to run the 'checkin libv' commands. Looking at the
newly restored system I can see that TSM knows all the vols in the TAPEPOOL
and also the qlibv command shows me the volumes I also see on the still
live server. Again, am I missing something?

Many thanks again for this list Anton, much appreciated.

All the best

Hallo.


We changed our Hardware a year ago. We asked support to help us and got a
good hand-out with all the steps to make.

Here is the 'cook book':

1.  you must have the samt TSM-Version on the old and new server.
2.  migrate all diskpools to tape
3.  backup the TSM-DB on the old server maybe to a file-devclass
   ( better for restore )
4.  stop the old server
5.  save all the config-files from the old server
   ( dsmserv.opt,dsmserv.dsk,devconfig.out,volhist.out,nodelock )
6.  connect the libraryies to the new server
7.  install the tsm device driver on the new server
   all the following steps are on the new server
8.  copy the config-files from step 5. to the new server, over
   the existing!
9.  create log-files and db-files with dsmserv format
10. check the config-files! for example the devconfig.out
   for devclass,devices,pathes,etc.
11. restore the db from step 3.
12. change dsm.opt:
   nomigrrecl
   expinterval =
   disablescheds yes
13. start the tsm-server in foreground ( dsmserv )
14. disable sessions
15. delete all paths, drives and libraries
16. define all paths, libraries and drives again
you must do step 15. and 16. because of possible changed scsi-id's
17. checkin libv <library> search=yes status=scratch checklabel=barcode
18. checkin libv <library> search=yes status=private checklabel=barcode
19. create the diskpools. If you have another directory-name for
   the volumes, you must delete the old ones and define new ones.
20. If everything runs fine, stop the server ( halt server ), remove
   the options you defined in step 12 from dsm.opt and start the
   tsm-server as a service like you did on the old hardware

THAT'S IT!

Hope that helps you.



Kind regards

Robert Fijan
