Hi Henrik

I have had a few comments now regarding upgrading Hardware/OS and TSM at
the same time not being the best idea so I am going to get TSM running as
it is now but on the new hardware/OS and then upgrade TSM a week or so
later.

Many thanks for the advice

Farren

Hi Farren,

Downgarding? You cant if you dont have an DB backup that was taken in the
earlier format, 5.1.6.2.
I´m not so sure what you are trying to do but...in short. Do:

Solaris 7, 5.1.6.2
Migrate all data from disk stgpools and backup DB.
Halt
Restore Db to the new server, Solaris 9, 5.1.6.2
Connect libraries etc.
Define new disk stgpools
Verfy and test.
If not OK fall back to the old solution.
If OK
Next week, upgrade to Solaris 9, 5.2.2.7

And yes, format new volumes before you restore your DB.

Secondly, dont do everything att the same time ie upgrade TSM and change
your hardware.


//Henrik

Hi all

This Saturday I will finally be moving from an on Solaris 7 server (TSM
5.1.6.2) to a new Solaris 9 (TSM 5.2.2.7) one.

My question this time regards downgrading from 5.2.2.7 to 5.1.6.2 should I
need to. Do I need to physically remove any existing dB and log volumes as
well as un-install the software and then re-format them? Or, once I have
installed 5.1.6.2 again, can I just issue a dsmserv restore db command and
it will happily use the space previously used by 5.2.2.7? From the
documentation it says to 'Reinitialize any database and recovery log
volumes ' which I'm assuming means to remove and reformat.

Thanks

Farren
