Hi Carol,

That´s precisely the problem....there ARE 3 different file systems....actually 
I 
have even created 3 different mount points in different physical 
disks..../tsmdb, /tsmlog and /tsmarchlog....the installation process always 
stops at this point through the Java installer.

I also tried the command line approach...but when I issue the dsmserv 
loadformat command to create the DB2 database that will receive the data from 
the TSM Database from the previous version, the process takes forever, does 
nothing and gives me nothing...meaning, no error messages of any sort....all 
previous steps were executed successfully.

dsmserv loadformat dbdir=/tsmdb activelogsize=16384 activelogdir=/tsmlog 
archlogdir=/tsmarchlog

I am using the TSM 6.2 Server Upgrade Guide, Scenario 2 - Same System, Network 
Method approach...

Any help is appreciated.

Mario

Hi Mario,
  It looks like you used the same directory name for one of your database
directories and one of your log directories.  You will need a minimum of 3
directories, the data base directory, active log directory and archive log
directory.  You can specify multiple data base directories, and also
optionally have mirror log and archive failover log directories, but each
of these must be a different directory.

Hi list,

During an upgrade process from TSM 5.3.6 to 6.2, after all pre-installation
steps have been executed by the book and all....I have to run
the dsmupgdx utility to finally upgrade the TSM DB, create the DB2
instances,
etc....

Using the Java Installer, I am getting the error below at the Recovery Log
window...from the /var/tivoli/tsm/dsmupgdx.trc file:

Thu Jun 24 23:34:53 ART 2010
com.tivoli.dsm.ServerConfig.ServerDB.validateLogDirs(): Copying dirs for
unix
Thu Jun 24 23:34:53 ART 2010
com.tivoli.dsm.ServerConfig.ServerDB.validateLogDirs(): db dir /tsmlog is
same
as a log dir
Thu Jun 24 23:34:53 ART 2010
com.tivoli.dsm.ServerConfig.ServerDB.validateLogDirs(): exit, rc: 206
Thu Jun 24 23:34:53 ART  2010
com.tivoli.dsm.ConfigWizard.LogDirPanel.okToContinue(): exit



The server is an AIX 5.3 TL 11 SP04.

Any help is appreciated.
